How quickly do we move on from our first home?

While many people cite moving home as one of the most stressful life events, it seems that we tend to move home quite frequently, particularly after making our first property purchase.

A survey carried out by money.co.uk last year revealed that first-time buyers typically expect to stay in their first home for four to five years before moving again. Around one-third of those questioned gave this time scale, but just over 20% said they only expected to be in their first home for one to three years.

Only 6.1% of those questioned said that they believed their first home would be their forever home.

Many first-time buyers decide to purchase a property outside of their ideal area, with affordability the major reason for doing so.

At Removals Unlimited, we love helping first-time buyers move into their first homes, because it’s great to see them so excited about having a place of their own. Even if you are a first-time buyer, that doesn’t mean you won’t have plenty of belongings to move with you into your new abode.

We are more than happy to help you move out of a rental property into one you have bought, and we understand the need to take care when moving boxes and furniture out of a house or flat that you have been renting.

In fact, we use home protection kits on every one of our moves, because this means we ensure that there are no scuff marks or other damage to walls or floors when we are moving large and heavy items out of a property and into our removals vehicles.

The special protection also extends to your belongings, so that they arrive at your new home unscathed. We know that moving home can be expensive, so getting a deposit back from your rental property is a priority to help you cover some of those costs.

When you choose Removals Unlimited for your house or flat move in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch or elsewhere in the South West, you can rest assured that we will treat all of your belongings as our own and that we will do the same with both the property you are moving into and the one you are moving out of.

If you are planning to buy your first home in the new year, it’s important that you factor in everything you need to do and organise, as Warrington Worldwide recommended. The news provider reminded first-time buyers that there are a range of costs associated with buying a home that you may need to budget for, including improvement costs, insurance, mortgage broker fees and, of course, removals expenses.

One top tip is to do your research as early as possible, so that you know how much you need to save to cover each expense.
