If You’re Putting Off Your House Move, What’s Really Stopping You?

Let’s untangle the “too much” of moving house so you can move forward...

Let’s not beat around the bush: Moving home is a big deal.

 
If you’ve been saying “I’m going to get on with it soon” for weeks or months, ask yourself, what’s really stopping you?
For many people, the answer is simple: everything feels like too much.
 
 

Moving Isn’t Just a Process. It’s Pressure.

You’re not just selling a property. You’re making decisions that affect your home life, finances, family, mental space, and emotional security.
 

You might be worried about:

🥑Getting your home ready
🥑Picking the right time to sell
🥑Managing your emotions about moving
🥑Finding the right buyer
🥑Finding your next place
🥑Not messing it all up!
 
It’s normal to feel like you’re carrying a lot, especially if you’re trying to figure it all out on your own.
 

Let’s Make It Less Overwhelming

Before you worry about valuations, photos, or legal paperwork, it might help to just talk things through.
That’s what I’m here for.
 
As your local avocado property partners for Swindon Central, East & Highworth, we're not just here to list properties. We help people move through the whole journey; emotionally, practically, and strategically.
 
We can talk about:
🥑Your timeline
🥑How the market works where you live (or want to move to)
🥑Who you might want to work with (mortgage advisers, surveyors, solicitors)
🥑How to mentally and practically prepare without burning out
 
 

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone

There’s no right time. There’s just the time that works for you.
 
If you’re ready to explore what that could look like, we're here. Not with a clipboard. Not with pressure. Just with experience and support.

There are frozen tax thresholds, higher property income tax, rising dividend tax for companies, and savings tax changes. It can be confusing, but this episode makes it clear.

In this guide, Avocado Property breaks down what these changes could mean for people living in and investing in Swindon a town known for its growing employment sectors, expanding housing developments, and excellent transport links to London, Bristol and the South West.

Yet never did. Here is why. If you have ever thought about selling your Blackwater home, you will know how tempting it can be to stretch the asking price. After all, it is your biggest tax-free asset, and those extra few thousand pounds can feel like a sensible cushion.

As we hit the third week of December, the Blackwater property market does slow down ready for the big day. It’s at this time of year, I like to work out the total value of every home in Blackwater, and how that value has changed since 2010 (as that was the bottom of the market after the Credit Crunch).
