We know moving house is stressful yet when this occurs later in life often after retirement, as a result of declining health, reduced mobility or following the loss of a loved one, the worries and concerns about moving can become overwhelming.
Later-life moves can be physically and emotionally challenging so planning ahead is essential especially if you haven’t moved home for many years.
Read on to see how the services of a Professional Organiser could support your moving journey.
Home and garden maintenance is often cited as one of the main reasons for people deciding to downsize or right-size later in life.
Whether you are relocating to be nearer to family, moving to retirement living or just want a smaller house that will be easier to manage, the move will need a lot of planning and with any house move, it will come with it’s own set of unique challenges.
Selling your home is a major step on the journey to moving so you will want to find the right Estate Agent and take into consideration more than one market appraisal before deciding which Agent is right for you. Do not just choose an Agent who provides the highest valuation, take into account the advice they offer including whether your home would benefit from some attention prior to going on the market, this might be decluttering the surfaces and removing personal items. When your move is progressing, decisions will need to start being made.
Our homes are full of furniture, belongings and memories accumulated over decades so deciding what to keep and what to let go of can be challenging for some people. There are so many decisions to make and it can be a tiring process especially if family or friends can’t commit the time to support you with everything that needs doing. Where does the unwanted furniture go, the shed is full and what about all the garden tools that you won’t need not forgetting the loft and spare rooms that haven’t been cleared for decades.
