As an award-winning Estate Agent in Poole and Bournemouth, we understand that moving home is one of the most stressful periods of time you may go through. However, more often than not taking a leap of faith is so necessary! With this in mind, we have come up with six signs which may make you start to consider your next property;
Bursting At the Seams
Perhaps the most common reason to contemplate a move. Quite simply you have run out of space. Perhaps you have a new addition to the family or you are now in need of a home office. If you find yourself debating whether a baby changing station can double as a desk, then upsizing should definitely be a consideration.
The Commute
The commute never seems to get any quicker does it? If you are tired of sitting in the same traffic jams or catching the same 5am train then it could be time to up sticks and move closer to work. After all, there is little point in paying for a house you never get to see!
Money Burning A Hole In Your Pocket
Speaking of work, if you have climbed the career ladder since you purchased, you will likely find yourself with extra resources at the end of the month. If so, you may now be able to afford that ideal house in your perfect location – the one you couldn’t quite stretch to last time round.
Location Fatigue
Are those rose-tinted glasses you used to admire your neighbourhood through now firmly in the draw? Are you tired of the same old walks, the same old restaurants and the same old shops? Perhaps it’s time to seek pastures new and get that change of scenery you are longing for.
Last Man Standing
Have all your friends and family moved away leaving you with a limited local network? If you wish to be closer to them, it could be time to follow suit and see if the grass they have found is in fact greener.
Wise to Downsize
Have the kids now grown up and recently flown the nest? Perhaps you are still in the celebratory stages & enjoying your newly found freedoms – no more mountain of washing, no more fighting over the TV, some actual space for yourself in the fridge! Thing is, after a while you may begin to notice just how much quieter… and bigger the house feels. Perhaps even too big. Why not turn those two extra bedrooms into the retirement you always dreamed of?
