With more people coming to accept that they will be spending a lot more time at home than they anticipated, some might be questioning the suitability of their existing home and whether now is the time to make a move?.
The suggestion is that having a home office, a garden or being close to open countryside will far out way previous priorities such as being close to good entertainment venues or transport routes. Yet, whilst the dream of owning that idyllic place in the country, or working from home on a more permanent basis, might seem very appealing, it’s important that buyers are realistic and question what a new home and lifestyle might bring.
Moving to the countryside? Consider potential costs: Don’t forget that, whilst you might want, or be forced, to spend more time at home there may be times when you want to go further afield and it’s important to consider the impact this might have on your travel costs. Taxi’s, petrol, buses may all cost more as might council taxes, insurances and utilities. Try to find out what they might be.

Working from home? Check out broadband speeds, whether the property is energy efficient and whether there could be outside disturbance which could distract you. Consider too where you’ll base your office/study (ideally away from busy areas within the house) and, should future business trips be possible, whether you still have access to good transport routes.
