How do you know it's time to downsize?
Are you starting to dread the days you have to tackle the housework? Or is the garden such a mammoth task that it overwhelms you? If you don't need to live in such a big property anymore, perhaps it's time to consider selling and moving into a smaller property?
Are you starting to dread the days you have to tackle the housework? Or is the garden such a mammoth task that it overwhelms you?
Are you becoming ever more conscious of your home's running expenses and starting to turn radiators off or close the doors to certain unused rooms to keep the bills down. Each month the cost of running a property is increasing. Utility bills and council tax are all going up each year.
If you don't need to live in such a big property anymore, perhaps it's time to consider selling and moving into a smaller property?
It can feel like a wrench to sell the property that has been your home for so many years. Perhaps you even brought up your family in this property, and the walls and halls are filled with countless happy memories. But there are actually so many benefits to downsizing.
- A smaller property will most likely be cheaper - meaning you can bank the equity you will release, ready for spending!
- Your monthly costs will be reduced - meaning that you will not have to spend so much of your monthly income on running the property.
- Easier to maintain - less time spent cleaning or gardening, giving you more free time to enjoy your life.
- Easier to keep warm as there is a smaller property to heat.
- No longer having to host family gatherings because you are no longer in the largest property - it's time for your children to take on the Christmas day responsibilities so that you can sit back with a well-deserved glass of wine!
