Posted on 11th August 2022
Are you considering downsizing your property?
If so, there are a few things you need to do before you make the move.
The first step is to get a valuation on your current property.
This will help you determine your price range for your next property.
You also need to think about what you would like your next property to be like.
Do you want a bungalow in the country, or a two-bed in the city?
Once you know what you're looking for, it's time to start viewing new properties.
Be sure to instruct an estate agent and start de-cluttering as you will have less space in your new home!
With a little bit of planning, downsizing can be an exciting new chapter in your life!
Now lets look into these steps more in depth to give you a better insight on what you will need to do...
Your first step should be getting a Valuation on your property.
This will give you a good understanding of your budget and what you can afford. You will also need to consider additional costs such as solicitor fees and stamp duty.
It's important to be realistic when considering your options.
If you're unsure, you can always get more than one estate agent to value your property.
The next step is thinking about what kind of property you would like. Do some research on different areas and what kind of property would suit your lifestyle best. If you're looking to downsize, you might want to consider a bungalow or a smaller house.
Alternatively, if you're looking for something with abit more space, you might want to look at two-bed properties, but one that are still smaller than the home you are in currently.
Once you've decided on the type of property you want, it's time to start viewing properties.
When visiting each property, take the time to imagine yourself living there and see if it feels right for you.
You might also need to do some de-cluttering before you move. If you're downsizing, you'll have less space in your new home, so it's important to get rid of any items you don't need. This can be a great opportunity to declutter and start fresh in your new home.
Moving house can be a daunting task, but by following these simple steps, you can make the process a lot easier.
With a little bit of planning, downsizing can be an exciting new chapter in your life!
