Has anyone gone through the process of selling and buying to move away to start fresh? I wonder if anyone has successfully done this or is there no chance with an unspent conviction?

Yes, I think after sentencing I will give them a call to see what the options are, Thank you Lee.

I also wonder then if anyone has successfully moved after their conviction is spent?

Why couldn't you sell your house after sentence if it was a suspended sentence ?

We are looking to sell and move away to a cheaper area. This would allow us to have no mortgage and money in the bank. Would it be better to do this before sentencing ?

If we did move prior to sentencing would the court be in our former area ? Also what would the chance of reporting in our new area be ?

We moved. In the middle of renovating it now. We initially moved after sentencing but then he had a breach, and whilst it was inaccurately reported it was anonymous as he was under 18 at the time of the breach which was re social media and not having his full name for which he got a further suspended sentence.

All I would say is, I couldn't stay in that house. We needed to move for us all. And it's the best thing we did. It's more expense and lots of work but this house is not tainted if that makes sense x
