I want to move as we live in an isolated house with no near neighbours. I can't go out for a walk around our house as I find it difficult to walk uphill and no matter which way I walk it would always involve uphill walking. My husband has a big veg garden which takes a lot of time and can not be left for more than a night in the summer. I would like a traditional house with a lounge/dining room downstairs. I am having more trouble carrying trays upstairs I am getting to hate this house. We are so isolated we do not get any spontaneous visitors . I am getting very lonely

We initially moved from London for more space and for the opportunity to build our own place from scratch. It has so much of our time and energy invested into it that it will be difficult to move on. Having said that, being nearer to our adult children would trump everything. They haven't really decided where they will finally settle, so don't need to make decisions yet, but I expect our next move will also be a downsize, probably to a bungalow. It would have to have a large established but natural garden which was very private and with lots of trees; we will no longer have the luxury of enough time to grow an orchard from scratch!

I live in Norfolk, my son and family in Staffordshire and my daughter in Kent, I would love to move to Staffordshire (fast train to London). Ideally have a home in Kent and one in Staffordshire big enough to accommodate all for visits, or one midway! nNeed to win the lottery for that though!

We have lived in our current home for over 40 years, our children were born and raised here, and we have lots of happy memories.

To consider moving property, I would like to stay in the same village as family, shops and transport links are quite handy. However, I would love a bungalow with a bigger kitchen. The idea of having no stairs to climb is appealing, and my present kitchen is tiny - nowhere near big enough.

dodgy neighbours for sure. I moved to get away from anti social, verbally abusive neighbours and now I'm living next door to neighbours who call the police, council and any other authority to try and get my perfectly legal (and council approved) build stopped.

I would just like to get out of renting. Not much chance of that.

I am coming to the end of a five year plan, to make hopefully what will be my forever home.
This time next year, my house should be up for sale, and l am now exploring my options of where l want to end up.
I just want peace and quiet, but with some sort of shopping, dentist etc facilities fairly nearby, as l don't drive.
Destination : undecided.
Price : unknown until this place is valued next year.
Type of property : anything except for flats.
Area : seaside, countryside, village, but definately not town.
Size : undecided.
Looks : anything considered.
Age : brand new high spec, or something that needs work.

Everything to play for.....

We consider moving to be near grandchildren to help out as childcare costs so much.House we are in was family home but costs a lot in run costs.

We have been considering downsizing but my 92 year old MIL lives with us & wouldn't cope with a move so will be staying put.for the time being. I think I'd quite like a more manageable house but DH likes his space!!!

We need lots of things renewing in the house like our bathroom. I’d love to move to a new house where everything was working properly but the house I’m in is in a lovely area and we have very good neighbours so this makes me want to stay and improve the house we’re in. If I didn’t like our neighbours I would be tempted to move.

I moved into a small flat earlier this year, probably for one of the most common reasons, to downsize and by doing so free up some money to help my son and daughter in law who have just had their first long awaited baby and desperately need to buy a larger property with a garden for my little grandson. It's so hard for the younger generation these days and particularly
now in the current financial climate when so many have lost jobs, income etc and I feel desperately worried and sorry for them and am delighted to be able to help them in a small way.

I downsized two years ago to a cosy warm flat. I have money in the bank, more time and energy . I have a wooded outlook with badgers and foxes coming into the shared garden at night. I could not be happier

We originally moved to the south coast from the periphery of the London outskirts to release a debt. From two homes (and marrying) downsizing to a 2 bedroom apartment. I miss my family but love the area, so ideally it would be so, so lovely to be greedy and be able to have a small residential apartment nearer to them too.

I would now only consider moving if it was to a warmer climate and I could be near the sea.

Our home (of forty years) is our forever home as we will not, or, have no intention of moving.

It has room to convert and adapt rooms for a disabled person should one of us need it. We have lovely neighbours, excellent doctors, dentist, shops and transport links. Our children live reasonably close by.

The downside is that it expensive to run but that's our choice - you can't take it with you! We choose to maintain the house.

I'll add that all new builds near us are 'apartments' (not flats!). We have viewed two on 'open days' and they confirmed our decision;. they both had small rooms which the developer tried to disguise with pale carpets, furnishings and copious use of mirrors and little private outdoor space.

Being used to 'doing our own thing' all these years it would be difficult to conform to 'group living' and rules, so fingers crossed, we will stay put.

I want to move to a smaller property (well designed and easy to manage) as I only use the ground floor here.

I'm a keen gardener, so I'd love a larger garden, with space for all my animals, vegetable garden etc.

As I've now retired, I really value my privacy, peace and quiet. Therefore, I'd choose a detached place, with land all around it - and no neighbours too close by!

I’ve wanted to move house for the last 30 years but my partner refuses to move from the area in which he grew up. The house of my dreams came on the market a few years ago, but being five miles from where we live now was apparently much too far away. I’d love a more rural property, with more outside space.

I hate moving, it is so stressful. We first moved when my son was a few months old and, though the house was lovely, I didn't know anybody, was very isolated and think it contributed to my post natal depression. I shouldn't have moved so far away from family and friends. We moved back into my childhood home and we are still living here now. I would move again, the area has gone downhill a lot since I was a child. We would need a lottery win now though!
If we had the money, I wouldn't move too far, same city just more countryside. I'd like a big garden too but wouldn't want to be too far from family and friends this time. I have my own car now though so can get out better. I'd keep my childhood home but have it done up and would rent it out at a reasonable price.

We live in a small village with lovely walks straight out of the door which has been fabulous during lockdown. We are however seriously considering moving to be near our young grandchildren. This is the only reason we would move.

I know I should downsize ,but I don't really want to.I live in a 2 bedroom Council house,my husband and myself were happy here,but it's just me now.I'm 68,I can still cope,I haven't much money to spare,so I would have to get into serious debt to pay for what I would need.My neighbours are causing problems,this could force me to move.They are a mum with 2 adult daughters,they have always been untidy,but this year the rubbish they always have on the garden has been attracting rats.They don't take it seriously,they have mental health issues,so I suppose I should be sympathetic,but I'm afraid I'm not,not if it's spoiling things for me in the house I still like.

I would move home when I become less mobile and would then prefer a bungalow which is near shops and with nearby good public transport. A smaller garden would be appreciated as I would be less able to manage a large one. I would want to stay in the same area as now however, so I can be near my friends.

Lexisgranny, I can't quite see the logic of your comment about the loss of local buses. I've never driven and often get minicabs. I don't spend as much as the cost of running a car, though. Work out how much you'd save if you didn't have one. Include everything (depreciation, insurance, tax, mot, service, fuel, parking charges etc.)

We live in a very rural area and as time passes I want to move nearer to ,my children and to a more connected area where driving is not essential.

We move often for a change of scenery and a new challenge . It’s so exciting . We have probably never lived anywhere for longer than 3 years , apart from a holiday home which we have had in France since 1992 .

I have been in my house for 40 years! I can't believe it has been that long. Now my son has left home I do not really need a 3 bed roomed house for just myself but I love my house. I have a spare room when anyone stays and the other bedroom is my "office" where I have my computer etc. I also have a nice garden that has been wonderful during the lock down. I think the only thing that would make me consider moving is if I could no longer manage the stairs.
