Why does the weather always seem better at this time of year than during the summer months? One reason could be that summer does not officially end until the last week of September! If you have already taken your holidays and still have the memories of being back at school in weather that seemed hotter than the months of the summer holidays, you probably have the summer blues. But if you know that change is on the way, why not find the home you always wanted?
The perfect time for change
Seizing the moment as the crispness of winter approaches, knowing you could be curled up for winter in the home of your dreams, is an appealing idea. September marks the transition between summer and autumn - the season of change. Altering your surroundings and where you live can reinvigorate your life. Feeling refreshed from the summer months, with the days still long and slightly cooler, this time of year is a good time to move.
A fresh new start
A new home in a different neighbourhood creates new opportunities, from expanding your social scene to enjoying a different lifestyle. Perhaps you are tired of being a city slicker and are yearning for a slice of country living. Moving to a location that you are passionate about and that aligns with your hobbies and family’s needs is a fantastic feeling. You can reinvent your life and create more time to do the things you have been putting off for years. Perhaps you're downsizing and considering the purchase of two properties to expand your lifestyle options.
More for your money
Prices have reduced a little this month. This gives you a chance to be a little more open-minded when making an offer and accepting offers on your home. In recent years, many homeowners have invested in improving their properties. This means the quality of exceptional properties on the market has never been better. From period townhouses to rural retreats, compact energy-efficient homes, and country estates, UK property is exciting and fascinating.
Live the life you deserve
There are few things in life that impact you emotionally and physically, like your home. Your surroundings, whether that’s the architecture, interior design, or view from your windows, all add to your sense of well-being. Discover the garden of your dreams with the perfect outdoor space for all seasons, and watch your stress levels decrease. Working from home in your perfect space is an investment; you will simply work better. Living in the ideal home to raise your family simply makes for a happier life. So why not make some memories?
The power of positivity
Re-inventing your home is all very well, but sometimes perceived financial barriers stop you from achieving your property goals. Interest rates will not stay high forever, and you can always remortgage in the future. Porting your mortgage allows you to move home with your existing mortgage. For first-time buyers, there is a government-backed mortgage guarantee scheme. Yes, house prices are falling a little, but with such rapidly gained equity in the past few years, this is a good thing. When you add up the benefits and the importance of living in the home you deserve, the positive effects always outweigh what is often just anxiety. It’s easy to see how this happens with so much sensationalist news and impending doom pumped out on social media.
