The stress of buying a property, especially for the first time can be overwhelming. Luckily buying your dream home can be stress free if you know what to do. Did you know - ‘At any given time, a quarter of UK citizens are currently looking to move within in the next 12 months. For the 18-to-24 age group, the number rises to almost half.
Here are some of our top tips that will guarantee a stress free move to get you started:
Pick the right estate agent
To ensure that your move is stress free from the start, it's vital to pick the right estate agent, this means choosing a strong and highly reputable estate agency. Look at the properties that an agent sells on OnTheMarket and Zoopla, are the pictures well taken and are the descriptions clear and relevant? If your answer is yes then this is a good indication that the estate agent knows how to market a property well.

Take your time
Schedule and organise everything your are going to pack and get rid of clutter to ensure nothing is left behind. If you want a stress free move, it is best to pace yourself so if anything doesn't go to plan, there's plenty of time to start again. When packing early, start by packing items from the rooms you least need such as christmas decorations, coats and gardening tools.
Making lists and labeling boxes will give peace of mind when you have made that move and want to make sure everything is essentially where it should be. On average, people move house five times before they turn 30, and three more times later in life making a total of eight moves!
Declutter & Prioritise
Moving home gives you the chance to declutter. All that unnecessary storage that has been accumulating over the years, now is the time to say bye. This might seem like that last thing you want to do right before a move, but it's the perfect time to sort every part of your home so the new property is kept clutter free.
Once you have moved into your dream home, it's time to put all the boxes previously labeled for in all the right rooms, this will essentially allow unpacking to be quicker and more efficient. Next you should prioritise what you need to unpack first which should be all the essentials.
Finding the right estate agent and planning at least 2 months before you move is the recipe for success. Got a property question? Contact us today for more information.
