The last few months have been an incredibly busy time for abbotFox due to adapting to new ways of working, the stamp duty tax relief and low mortgage interest rates.
Like other Norfolk estate agents, we've seen a huge amount of people wanting to buy Norfolk properties with green space.
We've also seen high numbers of buyers wishing to relocate due to no longer having to commute to an office because Covid has now changed how many people work.
Buying a new home is often the biggest investment people make in life and so it's important to consider everything especially when you're also relocating.
There are location and lifestyle requirements to consider. Choose a location that is right for you and your family based on proximity to local schools, amenities, space, and lifestyle requirements.
For example, if you want to live near water then Brundall or Wroxham might be good choices for you. If you want to be near a market town then Diss or Aylesham are popular locations. For seaside locations, Rightmove recently reported that Caister-on-Sea is one of the most searched for villages on its website. Mundesley, an unspoilt North Norfolk coastal village is another top location.
A good place to start is by determining how many bedrooms you want or need in your new home and what type of home would you be comfortable living in. Do you want to live in a new build property or a home with history? A modern design or traditional? A country cottage or a city dwelling. Would you be alright to take on a bit of a project or do you need something that doesn't require any work?
The next thing you'll need to discuss and decide is what would you compromise on because there are always compromises unless you buy some land and build your own home.
Would you compromise on location? Would it be the number of bedrooms? Perhaps you would forgo a garage to get the home you desire.
Then, what is your ideal budget and what is your maximum spend, the amount you would be prepared to spend to secure your dream home?
Now you have a clear idea of your dream home you can now register with abbotFox and we can get in touch with you as soon as the right property becomes available.
