I don't think you can force him to accept the need to move

Whilst you say financially you're sorted, have you talked to him about it? He may have fears and worries that he doesn't share with you - job security etc

Thanx for your reply as far he told me he is not bothered to move again soon and going on house hunting we got money left after his granddad passed away and our jobs are stable I have talked about that and there is no worries from his side.x
 
Could you maybe think about an extension. Then you wouldn't need to move.

hi yeah i was thinking about that but first there is no potential for extension or even conservatory as garden is small too and second this is grade 2 listed building so no demolition no extensions nothing like that!
