Many people encounter some hesitation when they are first thinking about selling their home. If you’re on the fence, consider these four signs it might be time to sell your home in Hull, Goole, Skegness, East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
1. You Need More Space!
Whether you’ve added family members or simply added more stuff, if you are feeling cramped, it’s time to move on. As your family grows, you will inevitably need more space. Not just for people, but for all those additional things! Or maybe you are working from home, and really need that office to be successful – or just have quiet space to work! Have you always wanted a man (or woman) cave but have never had space? Whatever your reason, if you are stifled in your own home, and extending isn’t possible, or wanted, then it is time to go!
2. Empty Nest
On the other hand, if your kids have moved out, or your house simply feels too big and empty, it might be time to downsize into a smaller home. Not only will the home require less maintenance, but you will save on utility bills and council tax. Offloading stuff that has been accumulated over many years can be a big stress relief and hugely satisfying. It can even put some cash in your pocket should you decide to sell it. Cleaning and maintaining a home – especially one with a large garden – can become increasingly challenging as you age.
3. Your Neighbourhood Has Changed
When you moved in, it was a quiet neighborhood with only a few families. But now, there are major roads running through, a coffee shop on the corner and people and traffic everywhere! Maybe crime rates have risen, or the addition of modern homes has led to more noise or led to less green space. If you don’t LOVE the neighbourhood you live in, you might want to think about relocating to a location you will love!
4. You Are Spending More Time Commuting Than With Your Family
Spending time with your friends and family is so important in maintaining your happiness and wellbeing. Commuting times are longer than ever and people are spending hours a day in their vehicle or on public transport. In the long run, missing out on quality time, and feeling stress to get home before the kids fall asleep, aren’t the kind of memories most people want to make. Moving closer to your job will save you time, money and lower your stress levels!
5. You Are Spending More And More Money Repairing Your Home
Spending your time and money repairing your home can be a huge drain on your financial and family well being. In the long run, missing out on quality family time aren’t the kind of memories most people want to make. Sometimes it can be better to admit that you’d like to spend both your time and your money doing something else – knowing how many repairs is too many. Something that will cause you pleasure, such as playing with your children or spending time with your partner.
