Autaumn hails a time of change for many in the property market

Peter Greatorex, managing director of The Apartment Company talks about reasons for a move

Autumn is a busy period in the property market, as many people decide they want a new home in time for Christmas. This time of year always feel like a new beginning, a time when people make changes and plans for their future. Buyers start to hit the pavement again after a summer pause, tenants are also seeking a place to call home, and many property owners decide to turn their asset into income through letting. Needing People who need a change tend to enjoy shaking things up in their life now and again. There may be nothing wrong with their apartment, or its location, but something inside them is itching and they need a change of scene. Wanting Wanting more or less space is often the major catalyst for those seeking a change. Their move will be due to a specific reason rather than a deeper need. Desiring Desiring a move is less committal than wanting or needing; people who desire a new home don’t have an inner drive, their motivation for moving is not as strong and it will take something truly special to change their desire into a want or need. We’ve been there Yes, change to many is a scary road to travel, and thoughts might turn to ‘what might be’s. Past experiences will also play their part in how they perceive the process of moving home. We completely understand how you feel, just because we work in property every day, doesn’t mean we haven’t felt the same exact emotions when we have decided to make a change too. Make your change a great one with The Apartment Company.
