Are you upsizing your living space?

We’ve all seen the headlines about how the pandemic has changed people’s priorities and is leading to significant lifestyle changes. It’s little surprise that our homes have been in focus given how much time we have all been spending in them.

In fact, we certainly know that demand for removal services in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Westbourne and elsewhere in the South West is incredibly strong at the moment.

As we noted earlier this year, the South West has become something of a moving hotspot since the beginning of the pandemic, with more and more people choosing to make this beautiful part of the country their home.

But people haven’t only been moving home to live in more picturesque parts of the country. As we’re sure you know, many people have chosen to move in order to have more space to live and work. Figures published by Hometrack in March this year showed that houses were selling three weeks more quickly than flats, on average, as buyers looked to upsize their living space.

It’s understandable that people from all walks of life would want more space. After all, some of us are in jobs that will become permanently remote, which means having a separate office will be incredibly useful.

For families, having a little more room for all of you to have your own space is increasingly important, as is having access to outdoor space like a garden. It’s little wonder that in March this year there was an 80% spike in buyer demand for property compared to the four-year average in the UK.

If you’re looking to upsize your living space and want to make your move as stress-free as possible, get in touch with our team of friendly professional movers to find out more about our services.

We pack, move and store, so if you need somewhere to store some of your belongings before you move into your new home, we can arrange this as well as taking care of packing up your possessions and carrying out the physical side of moving too.

However, if you’re considering upsizing, you may also want to think about some of the alternatives you have to moving home. As Haart points out, extending or renovating your existing home could give you the additional space you’re looking for without having to go through the process of selling and buying a property.
