5 Things To Look For in A Cheshunt Home You Want To Work From
With many of us working from home since March and the likelihood of this not changing anytime soon, it makes sense that you might want a proper workspace in your home. If you are working from home long-term then you probably don’t want to be perched at your kitchen table or having your laptop balanced on your lap while you sit on the sofa. There are many perks of working from home however being uncomfortable and causing yourself bad posture is not one of them.
If you are looking to work from home, even temporarily then we would be delighted to help you find the perfect combination of home and workspace.
Space Away From Your Living Area
If you are going to buy a home with work in mind, then do your best to find a property that has a separate space you can work from. A box-bedroom or downstairs utility room can be great for this. Ideally, you want a separate room that you can close the door on – this allows you to block out noise from the rest of the house when you’re working but also allows you to close the door on work when you have finished. This is really important to encourage a good work/life balance which is important when your work in constantly on your doorstep.
Plenty of Light & The Right Set-Up
Whatever room you choose in your house, you want to make sure it has plenty of natural light. You’re likely to spend a lot of time in the room and you’ll be grateful for a decent amount of light so put this at the top of the list of importance. Think about the room, does it work with your current desk, where are the plug sockets, how much work will you need to do to make it work for you? Most rooms can be adapted to suit your needs but make sure you think about it first and ensure it works for you when you view a property with a view to buying.
Is Location Important?
Although you’re working from home currently, does that mean you will all the time? If you’re likely to be visiting the office even on a semi-regular basis then you might want to consider transport options. The commute into London is an easy one, but you might want to make sure your new home is near to a train station if this is something that is needed.
What Will Broadband Be Like There?
Harder to tell exactly before you move in, but it is worth doing some research into what the broadband is like in the area. Many broadband providers have postcode checkers so you can get an idea of what maximum/minimum speeds you’re likely to get. Also, consider where your home office is going to be compared to where your router will be plugged in – do you need to think about WiFi boosters etc.? The chances are broadband is going to be essential to you being able to do your job well, so consider this first.
Can You Escape?
All work and no play is no good for anyone. Think about what you might be able to do at lunchtime and other times you get to escape work. Are you near to some outdoor space you can walk to, or does the property have a nice garden you can sit in?
