Top reasons for knowing when it’s time for a change
Quoting Stacks Property Finders
According to experts at Stacks Property Search, many people generally show preferences for an extra room, bigger garden or more parking, but there might be more urgent reasons which may hasten the need for a move sooner rather than later.
If the house has become too big, with too many rooms to heat, high maintenance costs and you live in less than 50 per cent of your space, or your garden has become a duty rather a joy to tend, then heating and maintaining space which is rarely used makes no financial sense. In this case, a downsize could be beneficial.
Conversely, if your children are growing up and have spread themselves into all your living spaces, then looking at reconfiguring the space or upsizing may be the answer. The average family of four ideally needs more than two downstairs living spaces as it is important that everyone has a corner they can call their own.
If parts of the property have become difficult to reach later in life, then a new property with easier access and fewer stairs would take away the strain, such as a bungalow or a ground floor apartment.
