We have our current home on the market. We are looking for a new home which is a little bigger and feels a more like the warm family hub I'm after... We've been searching for a few months and we've come up with a few good options along the way, but which for various reasons have turned out not to be 'the one'.
It is really tricky searching for a new home! First you have to like the property you are looking at: the land shape, size, contour, the location of the house, proximity of the block to services, major roads, neighbours and schools... Then you have to step inside the house and weigh up if it has all or most of the requirements your family needs. And if all or at least most of these seem to line up with your ideal property list and the property fits in your budget, you then have to imagine if your family could feel like this is their home, the place they like returning to and where they feel really comfortable.
It sounds a little academic, but going through this process with every property you have an interest in can be quite exhausting! We are working on this process at the moment and we have had some frustration but we are persevering. I know it will be worth it when we finally get to move into our new home!
What are your experiences with property hunting?
Believing for you that the right house will come onto the market at the right time for the right price, and it will all feel... well, right!
ReplyDeletehouse hunting can be hard... but it will all come together eventually, probably when you least expect it. We bought our house after months and months of looking and not finding the right thing.. went for a drive to the country and came home owning a house on ten acres! Best spare of the moment decision we've ever made!
