Are you weighing up a move to a new home? Here are 10 ways to tell if you're ready to relocate.
1. Do you have enough space for everyone in your current home? If there's been a new arrival in the family or you've welcomed another relative to live with you, such as a elderly parent, then you may need to move for extra space.
2. Do you now have the money to live somewhere bigger or better? If you feel like a change and have the financial and logistical freedom to move, then maybe it's time to do so.
3. Have people moved out of your home, such as your adult son or daughter? If so, you may now have too much room and want to downsize to a more comfortable sized house or even bungalow.
4. Have your medical circumstances changed? If you are finding it harder to move around your home, such as struggling to get upstairs, you may want to move to more convenient living quarters.
5. Have you been offered a job in a different part of the country? If you intend to accept said job, you may want to move somewhere that makes it easier for you to commute.
6. Have you decided to live with your partner for the first time? If you've been living separately to your boyfriend, girlfriend or fiance, you may want to move into your first home together.
7. Are you going through a relationship break-up or divorce? If you live with your partner, but are now separating, you may need to find somewhere new to live.
8. Are you ready to buy for the first time? Many renters reach a stage in their lives when they want to own property. If that's you, then maybe now is the time to buy.
9. Does the area you currently live in have enough good schools for your children? If not, you may decide to relocate to an area with better education facilities.
10. Has the neighbourhood you live in changed for the worse? If it's gone a bad way since you first moved in, you may want to get out before it goes further downhill.
So, are you looking for a move? If so, make sure you speak to a property solicitor to make sure everything goes according to plan. The reason people use property solicitors is that they are experienced and skilled in dealing with every possible scenario involved in the selling, buying and remortgaging process.
