THINGS TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE MOVING HOUSE

Moving is an expensive and complex process that we all go through, but it shouldn’t be done on the spur of the moment. Before making the jump, there are various factors to consider, including the obvious such as cutting costs where possible. Some really important things may go overlooked at first, but they may create a problem later on. Your home is a safe refuge where you may make memories and personalise them. You’ll want to double-check that it fits all of your short- and long-term needs.

Buy or Rent – Which is Best?

BUY OR RENT – WHICH IS BEST?

There are many factors to consider when you are thinking about whether or not it is better for you to buy or rent a place. Some people have certain circumstances that make them either want to purchase their home or rent one.  In the end, it all comes down to personal preference.

If you choose to rent your home, keep in mind that there may be some costs associated with renting, such as moving fees and deposits. While many require renters insurance in order to secure your rental agreement’s bond amount, if you choose to buy a home, there are additional costs involved in purchasing a house rather than simply leasing an apartment.

How to Declutter Ten in Ten

HOW TO DECLUTTER TEN IN TEN (#declutterteninten)

If you are reading this article, you may have followed the challenge that I created on Instagram –  Declutter Ten in Ten  (#declutterteninten) or maybe decluttering is just something you need to do.

Spring is a popular time to declutter but often, we have a big splurge then leave everything to build back up again!

Just before we moved house, I discovered Marie Kondo and her book changed my life.  I totally look at things differently now.  I’ve never been a big spender but her book made me spend even less and also made me realise just how little we need in our lives.

She also runs a course for anybody who wants to change their life which you can access here.

The key to decluttering is to keep on top of it and make it a way of life.  However, over the last 12 months with decorating and renovating our house, I have got out of the decluttering habit and our home, although not full of clutter, feels like it needs decluttering a little.

Therefore, I came up with a simple system to help myself get back on top of things and today I will share with you how to ‘declutter ten in ten’ so that you can start today to get back on top of your home.

THE HIDDEN COSTS OF BUYING A NEW HOME

When it comes to making a property investment, there’s no doubt that the biggest and most important cost to keep in mind will be the price of the home itself and how the mortgage covers that.

So you’re thinking about buying a house? Your journey starts from afar as you look at properties that catch your eye. You then need to look at different types of mortgages and navigate your way through the mortgage maze.
