How to downsize your home – Tips!

How to downsize your home: Quick Tips from the Best Estate Agents in Solihull. How to downsize your home? It’s a big decision, but with careful planning and consideration, it can be a smooth and successful transition.

Here are the key ways to downsize well, according to the best estate agents in Solihull:

Plan in advance.

Don’t wait until the last minute to start considering downsizing. Start planning early and take your time to consider all of your options.

Education.

Educate yourself on the risks of large sales chains: It’s essential to understand the potential risks involved in large sales chains, such as the possibility of the sale falling through.

Understand where you want to move to.

Think about what you want in your new home and where you want to live. Do your research and visit different neighbourhoods to get a feel for what’s out there.

Maintain cohesion in the family unit or with a partner.

Downsizing can be stressful, especially if you’re doing it as a family or with a partner. Make sure to communicate openly and honestly with each other to ensure everyone is on the same page. Please find a link regarding a great article on communication whilst moving by Zen Move HERE.

Don’t make quick decisions due to sales tactics.

It’s natural to feel pressure to make a decision quickly, especially when you’re dealing with sales tactics. But it’s important to take the time to carefully consider your options and make the best decision for you and your family regarding the downsize of your home.

By following these tips, you can downsize from your family home with confidence and ease.

Horton & Senate were very professional, honest and gave us a good valuation for our home. I would recommend Horton & Senate to anyone wishing to sell their home. Genuine people helping you make the right decision for you.

Justyn was amazing from start to finish. We purchased our home through Horton & Senate, Justyn was always available and was always the first person in the chain to have any information on progress. We would highly recommend Horton & Senate for an individual, informative and positive service.

I recently purchased a property through Horton & Senate. Justyn and Emma were very approachable throughout, ensured I was kept up to date with any relevant information. Thank you all at H&S!

Justyn, Emma and Casey were all instrumental in helping us find our first home and they were extremely responsive and supportive all along the way. I am gutted to have not had the opportunity to meet all of the team in person due to COVID but, from our correspondence over the phone, they are really lovely people. Whenever we needed to clarify or chase something, the team was always happy to chase up with the other parties in the chain and help push things along. They also responded to all of our queries consistently within a matter of hours and were also happy to meet our requests when bidding for the property. Working with Horton & Senate was a pleasure from start to finish. Thanks again from Alex & Sophie!
