We lost so much time during Covid – so I’m moving closer to my grandchildren
Quoting James Greenwood of Stacks Property Finders
James Greenwood, of Stacks Property Search, says: “With tighter budgets all round, the increasing costs of childcare, the rising costs of maintaining draughty old family homes, and family becoming more important, it’s a trend that will inevitably grow.” And it’s mutually benefi cial. “When the grandparents are younger, they’re on hand to do lots to help, but as they age and need help themselves, the children are local and available to step in without having to cross the country,” Greenwood explains. Indeed, some grandparents moving close to family may be thinking of elderly care down the line and its high fees. But while some grandparents are moving nearby, others are moving in.

When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.
Retirement or semi-retirement is an exciting stage in life. Finding the right home to live in and enjoy it to the full is important. We know that and will do all that we can to understand what you’re looking for… before starting to search. And search we will, until we find the house of your dreams.
Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.
A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.
Others say, ‘location, location, location’. We say, ‘location, purpose, price, capital growth, rental returns’… the list goes on. Knowing the market is critical. Local knowledge is key. We ensure all aspects of your investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.
