Downsizing is the process of moving to a smaller property, typically when your children have ‘flown the nest’ and the property becomes too big for its occupants. There are a number of motivations that drive property sellers to consider downsizing, the most common being too reduce the amount of time needed to maintain the property.

In many cases, properties with large gardens, numerous reception rooms and bedrooms become very difficult to keep clean and keep the grass short and the garden in good order, especially for our elderly vendors. Quality of life is critically important and worrying about who will cut the grass, who will paint the shed, who will tidy the 5 bedrooms is one of the main stressors for our vendors looking to downsize.

Selling your property and purchasing a smaller one outright with the proceeds of sale is a common strategy for our older vendors and we have a wealth of experience helping these sellers make the move into a smaller property. We are more than happy to assist you with sourcing a new smaller, more suitable property, ideally with a small low maintenance garden and potentially a bungalow with no challenging stairs to tackle.
