It's been a busy day! Went with my sister to see an apartment and a house this morning. They both had pros and cons but I was aware I had to make a decision, if I wasn't quick I may lose both. I rang my daughter and we chatted about the differences and in the end I realised it was the apartment that won. Even though it is on the ground floor it is clean spacious and well equipped with its own parking space and two bathrooms. The house had more bedroom space and a back yard but it just wasn't as 'convenient' as the apartment. They are both in a great location with excellent transport links and very close to my sister too.

So, I put down my deposit and once the checks are made I can move in. Wow! It is so exciting! Thanks for your good wishes everyone!
