My husband and I living in a one bedroom condominium since last 2010, the place was very nice, near to the market and major malls in Makati, Philippines. We love our place but we need to move to bigger house because the whole family decided that my father in law is going to stay with us as long as he wants and to closely monitor his health condition. I love our home very much but as a member of the family and for the goodness of my father in law i am willing to give up our place and to move into a bigger one but in one condition, were going to sell our unit and they will help us to pay the two bedroom condo unit. I am hoping they will keep their promise to help us paying the bigger unit so that i will not compromise our savings.

I think that it will be better for everyone, but make sure that family makes the down payment for the bigger condo and then you sell and pay your share. Words often don`t turn into deeds and you can have lots of trouble if you have to pay for the bigger place and take care of you FIL too.

That's what I am worried about, i told my husband to make sure his brother will give us an assurance that he going to help us paying the bigger unit or else it a big waste of money.

That`s why I thought it would be a good idea to have them make the down payment of the other apartment before you sell your home.

I talked to brother in law and open this topic to him, we both decided to keep our place and let someone to rent it. He's going to sent money for down payment too because i told him we do not want to use our savings.

Our condo unit was our first investment as a couple and it hard to let it go, good thing they all agree to keep the place and just look for other one where will own my father in law.

Hi,
It is not easy moving to a new home. It is like being uprooted and replanted elsewhere where living conditions may not as good as the old location. Before moving make certain you don't lose on the deal, the most important is how good the new location is especially considering the health condition of your family member.

Moving to a new home brings lots of changes in our life but we need to accept it for the goodness of others. My husband found a new place just few blocks away from our place, i like the place and for sure my in laws gonna like too.

they are trying to get rid of you at the earliest and also to make sure they keep it under wraps and try to look for nice two bedroom unit nearby

Wow, living in a condominium here is really pricey. Let's just hope that they will really help you until you pay the unit in full. Your situation is hard especially that you already loved your house. It's a good thing that you are willing to sacrifice for your husband and father in law. Hope for the best and I wish you will love your new house and have no problems with your father in law.

Were going to keep our place since it's our first investment. Condo unit here in our country is very expensive and we can not afford it without the help of my brother in law.

well, you could make that promise that they will help you paying for the bigger unit become a written contract. It is not that you have trust issue with that person, but just to be safe. You know these days, verbal agreement, even among those who are blood-related, is not enough. Just my opinio. Well, good luck!

I agree with you in terms of a big decision like this written contract is very important for the security of the agreement but in this case I think we do not need a written contract because my in laws going to send the down payment and my father in law will continue paying the unit since his the owner.

Oh cool! I guess now you're renting out that condo since you got the 2 bedroom one.

Well Bhebelen, that will be a great move if they hold up theier
end of the bargain and we are certainly hoping that they will..
But at least your father in law will be with family who will
take care of he well being...Good luck on the search and the move...
I am probably rushing it .because I am sure it will take a while
to make the move...
