At this time of year with the night’s beginning to draw in, thoughts tend to switch from the hiatus of summer holidays and the buzz of warm sunshine to cosy nights in snuggled at home. Your thoughts turn towards the colder mornings ahead and the “C” word suddenly makes an appearance in your mind.

Its now you realise that Christmas will be here before you know it and your home is nowhere near prepared! You realise you want to make the ultimate change and find that perfect home with all the extra space you’ve always longed for. You can picture your new decorations, or where your much-loved Christmas tree will now live. You can envision cosying up around the fireplace and sitting at the dinner table with family.

With less than 15 weeks to go until Christmas Day, this may sound near impossible but fear not, it’s entirely possible! We know that being in your new home in time for the Christmas holidays is of utmost importance. It means that if you act fast, you could be celebrating Christmas in the comfort and style of your perfect forever home that’s easy to manage, efficient to run and perfect for family gatherings.
 

Fresh Festivities

The conversation about moving house may have been floating around all year, but as the season starts to change and we head into the colder months, is usually when you make the final decision, and you realise that you do want to make the move ready for festive celebrations in a fresh new property. As the nights start to draw in, we tend to spend more time at home and considering all of the family get-togethers that happen at Christmas, the need for more space or just a change of space can suddenly become a priority.


 

New Year, New Start

We get it, you don’t just want to move in time for Christmas Day itself, but more that the desire is to be in your new property ahead of the New Year. The New Year symbolizes an opportunity for a fresh start, new goals, and new beginnings. A blank canvas in which to start a new chapter in your life. A property move can kick-start a lot of that, and for that reason it can be the driving force in moving before Christmas is upon us.


 

Peace of Mind for Festive Fun

Another reason to use Christmas as a time-marker for moving is so you can have peace of mind over the break itself. Navigating the holiday season, with the extra bank holidays and office closures, usually means any outstanding property sales can be temporarily put on hold until the New Year. You don’t want to drag the process out any longer than needed, so pushing for a pre-Christmas completion ensures you won’t get caught up in the holiday downtime.
 

In the excitement of a move, it can be easy to forget the small details. Ensure you tie up any loose ends such as informing utility companies that you’re moving, and having your mail forwarded to your new address – just in time for Christmas cards! If you act quickly enough, you’ll be able to relax and celebrate Christmas and the New Year in a fabulous new home this winter. If you’re ready to start your next chapter, look and see what we have waiting for you.
