I am looking to move house from a one bed to a two bed. My son comes to stay with me once per week & currently he needs to sleep with me. He is 11 & it is getting too much now & he really needs his own bedroom. My father who is 60 currently lives in Italy but is due to come back to England in a few months due to ill health. He is having trouble walking & basically shuffles along. He needs help from the NHS in England as soon as he comes back. He has no where to live over here & only a small amount of savings therefore he will need to stay with me for a while until he gets some help from the Government & medical treatment.

I have seen a two bed apartment which is nice & affordable & my father could stay in the other bedroom which would be my sons most of the time. I am due to go view it tomorrow but I am a little concerned as it is a First floor apartment & the only access is from a steep set of concrete steps that my Father would really struggle getting up. I have mentioned it my Father & he said I should do what I feel is right & if I like the apartment then I should go for it.

My heart is saying not to take it & wait for something more appropriate for my Father but he is saying go for it.

Any advice please?
