Getting Ready to Move House in 2021
With Christmas just around the corner and a brand new year not far behind it, many people are starting to wonder what 2021 will look like for them. If moving house is part of your plans next year, then now is the time to get ready.

busy times for the property industry with Spring being the busiest time throughout the whole year. Although the world is a little different lately, there is no

Is It The Right Time to Move?
Ultimately the right time to move is a really personal choice. Some people move to fit in with work obligations or education for their children. We’re happy to advise and help you decide, but it is always up to you whether the time is right or not.
If it is mortgage and finances you’re worried about then we’re happy to put you in touch with our broker Damien. We can help you decided whether financially it is the right time, what level of mortgage you can get and even with the mortgage application process.
How Do I Get My House Organised?
If you are going to sell your house and move somewhere else, then you’ll want to get your own house organised. Not only is this important for viewings and property photos, but it makes it easier to move house too!
One of the first jobs would generally be to have a good de-clutter and decide what items you’re storing that you probably don’t need anymore. Lots of us are guilty of putting things in the loft or storing them in the spare room, just in case we need them again one day. Go through all of these and really think about if you need them or not – you might even be able to sell some of the things you don’t want to help put money towards your moving costs.
Looking For a New House
It can be hard to know when the right time to start looking for a house is, because if yours isn’t on the market yet – how can you make an offer? Realistically, there is no harm in window shopping and getting an idea of what sort of houses are out there! This will help to give you an idea of what you can afford in your budget, which in turn can help you decide if now is the right time to move?
It’s recommended to get a valuation and choose an estate agent – that way, if you do fall in love with a potential new home, you’re able to get yours on the market straight away.
