Hi, in after a few suggestions on what I should do in regards to a property my DH decided to buy after looking for a while on a family home. Basically the house had been on the market for a couple of months and it had been repossessed by the government a few years ago. Anyway the location is not great it's backs onto a freeway but not much noise which is good but there's a pedestrian bridge which goes across it and ends across the road from the house which bothers me if my kids ever find a way out of the yard it's probably the first thing they'd head for or the wetlands which is on the other opposite side.. It's a corner block so only have one neighbour.
The area in general isn't bad but I'd worry about making the property secure enough so if DH does go away for work I'll be OK knowing we've done as much as we can to feel safe.

I'm still not convinced though I just wish we could rent somewhere that's closer to a school the kids will attend and rent the one we now own out once it's freshened up. DH is not a fan of that idea even though I've had sleepless nights thinking about this house he bought without me totally agreeing to it! I'd seen this house maybe two months ago and I didn't like it because I just thought kids and safety.
There doesn't seem to be many in that street either..

Just feeling pretty tired and anxious about the whole thing and we move into it maybe end of July or start of August.
