Re: Downsizing yes or no?
I'd love to upsize we are a bit squashed here in our two bed, but that's not going to happen so we make best we can off it, we've up sized to here, was in a tiny one bed at one time but everything's bigger than when we lived in our car, that was seriously small with two dogs. Amazing what you can do though IMORe: Downsizing yes or no?
I'm by myself in a big 3bed semi. I like it here. The neighbours are good without being over friendly and a nuisance. I've got a nice big garden which i enjoy. But as i start to get older i can see it all becoming to much, and i have been surfing viewing flats. I've never lived in a flat. The thing that has put me off buying a flat is, they all seem to be leasehold with high service charges. Then you see these stories in the press and on Tv, warning you that some of these service charges get increased at, the-drop-of-a-hat A For Sale board went up last week, outside a bungalow just up the road from me, but when i looked on the Internet they were asking nearly £100k more than i'd get for mine.Re: Downsizing yes or no?
Re: Downsizing yes or no?
McCarthy & Stone are popular and expensive retirement home builders in this area and charge very high service charges. However, one of the properties they built they sold on, the property prices plummeted but the service charges remain the same! Not to be trusted!Re: Downsizing yes or no?
Ours too Val...but the thought of moving gives me nightmares.Re: Downsizing yes or no?
We downsized to a three bed detached getting on for six years ago. It is still quite sizeable with large lounge, kitchen with sunroom and study for my husband. I suppose in the future we might have to consider buying a bungalow if the present house gets too much to manage, and the stairs are a problem.Re: Downsizing yes or no?
