There are several things that it is important to remember when you are upsizing your home, some of which are very hard to either think of or remember.
Remember that there are many ways of upsizing an existing or new home. This could include purchasing a garden studio for a separate home office space, or providing more space by renovating the attic. After all, ask any estate agent, and they will tell you that a home office, a dressing room or a utility room are among the most sought-after features, meaning that their presence can increase the value of your home when you do decide to move.
If you do decide to move, you should look at the wide range of larger properties that are available in the areas that interest you. You may have a range of property types that you like as well as a range of areas that you would like to live in. Try to see all types and view the properties as objectively as you can, considering practical requirements such as the number of bedrooms and how large a kitchen you require, as well as vicinity to good schools and work.
Take a look at the present state of the market. Upgrade to a larger property in a falling market, and you can save thousands of pounds. If you upsize in a recession, you are likely to have the option of moving to a better area – perhaps one that you would not have otherwise been able to afford. This way, you won’t become frustrated by bidding for overpriced houses and finding yourself constantly rebuked.
You should also ensure that you have chosen the right means of moving to a larger home. For bigger home moves, you may want to hire the services of a larger removal firm, which can transport bigger and heavier furniture items and special items, such as pianos. This way, you’ll be able to keep the number of journeys from your old home to the new one to a minimum, while also benefitting from greater peace of mind.
Also consider the benefits of purchasing a new home if you would like to upsize your property. There is a wide range of new homes to choose from, allowing you to move into a modern, easy to maintain and safe and secure property that is exactly the size you require, including homes with open plan spaces and larger kitchens.
