Additional space

One of the main reasons to upsize your property is for the additional space it includes. There could be a variety of reasons why you need or want this space. This could be led by becoming recently married, wishing to create a family, or desiring a new space for working or certain hobbies. This would create a comfortable living environment for you and your family.

Social life

Having a larger amount of space allows you to host and entertain events, creating an exciting and fulfilling environment around you. This could enhance your social life and mental wellbeing all while creating long-lasting memories within the walls of your new home.

Future investment

Upsizing is an investment, but it is a more financially challenging one. Larger houses get higher in value as time goes on, allowing you to make money over a long period of time. It is very important to ensure you are financially stable before upsizing, as it takes a lot of upkeep and attention to maintain the value of the larger property.

Benefits of downsizing

Simpler lifestyle

The key to downsizing your house is to simplify your way of life. Having a smaller home allows you to focus more on your life outside of your home. Maybe you now have empty space within your home, as all your family have flown the nest and you’re not a homebird anymore, which encouraged you to downsize.

Financial security

69% of homeowners who have downsized in the past said their primary reason was to save money.* Downsizing gives you more financial freedom, as your monthly payments will be reduced. This will also lead to a reduction in the maintenance of a property and its general upkeep, freeing up your time.

Location change

Downsizing could also give you the advantage of moving to a different location for a property, as prices differentiate in different areas, meaning you might have to reduce the size of your property to move to a new location. People assume downsizing is a backwards step when moving along the property ladder, but occasionally it can suit your lifestyle better and should be accepted.

Which one is right for you?

Whether you’re leaning towards upsizing because of the comfort and luxury of moving up the property ladder or you want the simplified life of downsizing, it's key to align the reasons with your lifestyle and determine which one would suit you. Your choice of where to move next should be a personal choice and preference for whatever suits your lifestyle and future.

Whichever home you choose, whether you upsize or downsize, ensure you choose correctly by comparing the advantages of each.

What Our Customers Say...

The Agency was proactive Entrepreneur Breed 03/02/2025
I needed a house quickly for me and my two children as my old landlord was selling the house at such short notice. Alice from the horbury brand was so understanding and helpful trying to make things as quickly as possible. Always phoning me to give me updates which in past cases I normally have to chase the agent! She has been really quick with replies and honestly being so helpful. I feel super lucky she was dealing with my tenancy for me. The most helpful person and has contacted me since to make sure everything is ok. She definitely deserves recognition for being fantastic at her job! X Rebecca 03/02/2025
Our experience with Richard Kendal (or Karen Marijewko) has been absolutely brilliant. Karen has been a great help with advising us on what needs doing, ensuring smooth communications between ourselves and others and even advocating for ourselves when things weren’t going smoothly. We are incredibly grateful for all help and guidance during this time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. Sadie 03/02/2025
