Downsizing Your Home
Downsizing frees money and maintenance time, but it only works if the new home genuinely fits the life you want to live in it.
Measure before you sort
Draw the new rooms to scale and place your key furniture on the plan. Decisions become obvious once you can see what will not fit.
The keep, store, release split
Sort into three groups rather than two. A storage option removes the pressure to make permanent decisions during a stressful month.
Selling and donating
Allow six weeks to sell furniture properly. Charities will collect larger items free if they carry a fire label.
The money side
Factor in estate agent fees, stamp duty on the purchase, legal costs and removals. The released equity is what remains after all four.
