The current lockdown has maybe given you the opportunity to reflect on your priorities and reassess what you want in life moving forward. Maybe you have been furloughed or generally have more time on your hands at the moment?Whether you're wishing to upsize after realising your home isn't big enough, or perhaps you've had the time to carry out some much needed home improvements and would like an up to date valuation - there are many reasons properties will be coming onto the market post Covid-19, such as...
Upsizing
Having the whole family at home all the time may have led to you recognising that your house simply isn't big enough for all of you.
Downsizing
Some may have enjoyed furlough or reduced working hours that they want to release equity from their home and downsize, reducing their outgoings and enabling them to work fewer hours.
Relocation
As we have been unable to go out properly, those living in apartments or properties with no outdoor space will almost certainly have found themselves wishing they had a garden to relax in. Or, perhaps you already have an outside space but would benefit from a larger one.
Homeworking
Many will have enjoyed the flexibility of working from home and may be considering this as a long term prospect, therefore requiring them to look for a property with a study or an extra bedroom to convert into an office.
Home Improvements
Having so much extra time on their hands, many have been turning their hands at DIY and doing some home improvements. This will lead to people seeing their homes in a new light and wanting to seek a re-valuation of their property with a view of selling.
Nightmare neighbours
Spending so much more time at home may have highlighted any particularly noisy or anti-social neighbours and the desire to move away from them.
