When is the right time to move

When is the right time to move

There is a reason you had the valuation and are thinking about moving - embrace it!

As with most major life decisions, there is never a perfect time. Property markets are constantly changing and moving.

Most homeowners think about moving for over a year before taking the plunge and arranging a valuation.

But, by that time, the reasons you started thinking about moving are likely to be more significant now - your home won't have got any bigger or changed location to the town you want to live in. Embrace this and take the leap of faith to put the property on the market.

After all, the only thing we know for sure is that you won't sell if you don't put it up for sale! You've got this far and had your home valued.

Now, let's get on to the next step.

You've got to be in it to win it! If you wait to see what happens, nothing will happen. 

And, at Christopher Stokes, we do not charge you unless you sell your home and move out, so there is minimal risk. What are you waiting for?
