I would suggest don't spend this much so soon. You and your Partner are in a good space financially right now. Take this time to build foundations of your investment and savings. When it actually gets necessary to move for example a kid or your parents coming then take the decision.

If you are having rest all basis cleared on investment, savings, emergency fund etc. Having an additional 20k of expenses won't hurt much (assuming you are not preparing for any big expense in the near future - car, international trip etc)

I made a mistake starting SIP in a ULIP. Used to invest 7500 per month starting from November 2018. I have discontinued my premium payments since last year. That is when my fund was moved to an interim surrender state and now it earns 4% per annum interest.
