Hi, we are debating whether to buy a 2 bedroom flat or a 3 bedroom flat/house... the thing is we only want 2 kids, and if they are the same sex, then we only need a 2 bedroom. 2 bedrooms are a hell of a lot cheaper than 3 and our mortgage payments would be no more than 380 a month for 10 years fixed term, if we got a 3 bedroom it would be 500 min and i would have to go back to work full time as soon a mat leave was over whereas with a 2 bed flat we could afford me to only go back part time, maybe even be a stay at home mum for a while.
If we were to get a 2 bedroom, we would make sure they were double rooms so we could put a wall up if we do have a boy and a girl, or have somewhere we could put an extension up. We would also make sure its got a private garden but the gardens tend to be smaller which would suck because we are use to a big garden where we rent just now.
There are benefits and bad bits to each, like in a flat we have upstair neighbours and would always hear them.
I just don't know which is better, i know its all personal preference and stuff but neither of us can decide which is better, both have pros and cons, i cant stand making financial decisions
