Most of us are creatures of habit, I know I am. We are comfortable with our daily routines in familiar surroundings, we don’t like change and there’s nothing wrong with that.

That sort of thinking probably extends to your home, which you may have lived in for years. It might have been perfect when you were raising a family, but now the children have long flown the nest is it really still the ideal home? I know that’s a very difficult question to face because you will no doubt have a lot of emotion invested in your property. But although it may be a hard conversation, it could be literally life changing.

Downsizing can be a liberating experience, not only freeing up some money, but saving on running costs and sparing you the physical effort of maintaining a large garden that was getting a bit too much. A smaller property allows you to lock up and leave it and not have to worry about the grass growing.

You might choose to move away, to be nearer to family, somewhere by the coast, further into the countryside or even abroad!

The hardest part of the process is sitting down and making the decision to move. Once you have made up your mind, give us a call and we will go straight into action with our unrivalled Dedicated personal service, top quality Imagination in marketing and the experience to ensure we Deliver the service you need.

We have potential buyers who are keen to share in our lifestyle. They are looking for family homes and they don’t need to be shiny and newly refurbished. In fact, many people are keen to have a chance to put their own stamp on a property and make it their own, probably just as you did all those years ago.

I know that a good number of people in the Valley are deliberating what to do with houses that are too big for them and I don’t underestimate how hard it will be to make the decision to sell a property that has been home for much of their lives.

Life is for living and there are times when it’s right to make a big decision that can be a game changer. If that sounds like you, then don’t hesitate to get in touch with me and my team and we will do all we can to make the process as stress free as possible.
