Are you thinking about whether it’s the right time to move house? Here are 10 scenarios of why you may want to move.

1. If you are a young adult and live with your parents, you may want to move out for the first time to enjoy greater independence.

2. If you have been living in rented accommodation, you may now be ready to get on the property ladder as a first time buyer.

3. If you are ready to move in with a partner, you may start looking for a new place together.

4. If you currently have a house or flat share arrangement, you may be ready to live by yourself for the first time.

5. If you have been offered a new job in a different part of the country, you may be looking for a new home as part of your relocation.

6. Alternatively, it may be as simple as wanting to move closer to work or a partner for the benefit of convenience or saving fuel money.

7. If you have been saving up or come into some money, you may finally have reached a financial position that allows you to consider a move.

8. If they area you currently live in has gone down hill, you may feel you can have a better life living elsewhere.

9. Families will often outgrow their home, so if you plan on having more children or your children are older and require more space it may be time for a move.

10. The reverse of that, of course, is if your children are now adults and have moved out. You may find yourself with more space than you need and wish to downsize to a more appropriate living space.

If you are planning on a move, it’s a good idea to find an experienced residential conveyancing solicitor to help take you through the buying process.

You may find that some law firms will have both property specialists and other experienced professionals, such as an employment law solicitor or family law expert.
