If you’re ready to make your big move, start by evaluating the features of your current home so you know just what you’re looking for in your next one.
Having spent so much of our time in our homes, especially the last few months with the global pandemic, we’ve become quite familiar in our homes – and in some cases, maybe way too familiar. Before making your move, you might want to take a moment to reflect on what’s working and what’s not in your current home. For instance, the stairs you’ve climbed 10 times a day may have kept you fit while you’ve been home, but now you may be looking for a place that doesn’t have stairs? Perhaps that garden you could do without now has become something you definitely want?
We’ve come up with a list of questions to assist you in pinpointing what you like and don’t like about your current home so that you can find more comfort and pleasure in your next one. After all, isn’t home supposed to our safe haven?
On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you like your current home?
What would you say is your home’s best quality?
What’s its worst quality?
Do you like the architectural style of your home? If not, is there a certain style you would prefer?
What’s your favourite room, and what makes spending time there comfortable and peaceful?
Do you have enough space or too much space? Where could you use more/less space?
What sort of layout suits your lifestyle? An open floor plan or more compartmentalized?
Do you have enough or too many bedrooms and bathrooms?
Do you like the number of floors, single or multistory?
Are you happy with the windows bringing in natural light, or is it too sunny for your liking?
