Week 24 of Beeny Knows Best, where our very own Sarah Beeny takes to the blog to answer your property-related questions.
It really depends on how long you plan on being there. There is a considerable cost to moving so personally I think it's better to push bigger and move less. You will also find that it may not be such a good location, but you can make a happy home in an area that might not be as 'fashionable' right now, but may well have a great community. If you are buying with a view to selling in the near future then go for the safer bet for sale, as it's so frustrating to be unable to move when you want to.

We're willing to take on some more heavy-duty work if need be, as long as it can be reasonably quick - Ms Jaques
