Moving house is a big step in our lives and it is a huge decision to make. When you reach a certain age it is time to move on from your parents house and get your own space to help live your life.
But once you have a place to call home how do you know when it’s the right time for you to move again? After the year we have all had you might be sick of the same four walls and looking for something new and we want to help you decide whether it is the right time to make the big move in the new year.
Consider your budget
The first thing you have to think about before you consider moving home is how much money you have set aside for the move. It is very important for you to have a good deposit ready for a move and if you aren’t in that place financially right now it might be worth waiting for a little while and saving up first. When you move home you’ll want to size up not down so make sure that you can have more space to do the things you love.
Is your lifestyle changing?
When considering whether or not you want to be moving house yet, it is important to consider your lifestyle and how this might be impacted. If you are looking to extend your family and you don’t have a big enough house this is a good indication to move home; or perhaps you are getting a new job and want a house which is closer to it. When considering your big life it’s important to think about lifestyle and if you know yours is about to change then moving is a natural next step.
Check out the neighbourhoods
When considering the move it is important to look around the neighbourhoods you want to live and explore their features. From the crime rates to schools and transport routes – it is important to know about the area you want to move to and make sure it is the safest possible place for you and your family to live. Do some research and be sure you are thorough with it.
Think about dream features
The reason you want to move house might not be anything as big as wanting a bigger family, it could simply be that your current home is no longer providing you with the things you need to live your life comfortably. It is important when looking for a house to find one that has the features you need in your life such as a big garden for your kids or a spacious kitchen for hosting. Make sure that your house speaks to you and that it is the ideal one for your family before you jump and move.
When deciding whether or not you want to move house this year consider if it will bring you joy and happiness and whether it is the right thing to do at this stage in your life.
