Making the decision to downsize…
If you are looking for a property with less maintenance, wanting to free up equity, if you are approaching retirement or feeling the need for a change, you may be contemplating downsizing to a smaller property.
There are a great range of oversized apartments as well as townhouses and villas that will allow you to continue living the same lifestyle without the extra work involved with owning a large property. A range of properties within a range of prices can allow you to stay in the same area without having to leave your local community.
Many new developments and renovated or recently built properties are designed with entertaining in mind, allowing down-sizers to benefit from large balconies, entertaining kitchens and low maintenance outdoor areas.
Make sure you discuss your ideas about downsizing with your family and friends and work out the positives and negatives associated with making a change. Also weigh up the costs associated with selling your home versus purchasing a new one.
If you take the time to research the market and view the wide range of properties available, you will find that in making the decision to buy an apartment, townhouse or villa, it doesn’t have to compromise on your standard of living.
We are regularly listing a range of properties suitable for down-sizers, so if you are looking to make the move, we encourage you to contact the Chambers Fleming Professionals Real Estate, Padstow team today.
