Moving house takes time
- It’s time to find a home. Remember how long it took the last time?
- It’s time to sell your home, including making it tidy and clean for viewings. You can also be in the house for viewings or make sure you’re out.
- Work out how to answer questions from buyers.
- Time to find an affordable, good moving company.
- Time to pack the house or supervise packers.
- It takes time to clean up / hire cleaners / make sure the job gets done.
- Leave of absence from work for moving.
- Take time to organise your new home.
- The inevitable time will come when you have to do all the little or big things that need to be done in your new house, paint and decorate etc.
It is costly to move home
Along with additional costs for moving, boxes, packing material, packing services, deposit, stamp duties, etc.
All the while, there was an unused large space above your head. Consider the investment in your home that you make by extending it into your loft compared to the costs associated with moving.
