Is It Time to Let Go of Your Home?

If you’re feeling stuck between wanting to move and not knowing how to emotionally handle it, here’s what we'd say...

Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get said enough in the housing world:

Selling your home is a big deal.


Even if you’re frustrated with the space.
Even if you’re longing for something new.
Even if the logic all points to moving.

There can still be a weight in your chest when you think about letting go.

Maybe it’s the place where your kids took their first steps.
Maybe it’s where you spent a milestone birthday.
Or maybe it just represents a chapter you’re not quite done processing yet.

That’s okay.

If you’re feeling stuck between wanting to move and not knowing how to emotionally handle it, here’s what we’d say:
Start with a conversation.

You don’t need to have all the answers before you speak to someone. In fact, that’s what we're here for.

As your local avocado property agents, we’ve helped people move through every stage of this journey, from the moment they first say, “I think it might be time” to the day they hand over the keys.

We can talk you through everything you might be worrying about, from practical things like solicitors and surveys, to emotional stuff like how to feel ok saying goodbye.

There’s no hard sell here. Just support. Honest advice. And people on your team.

So, if you’re wondering whether it’s time to move on, but feel like something still needs closing first, let’s talk.

In the summer of 2020, Stevenage's property market, like the rest of the UK, roared back to life after weeks of pandemic lockdown. It was a strange moment in history.

Want to sell your home for the best price? First impressions matter—especially online. Dull photos, weak descriptions, and outdated marketing can cost you serious money. At Avocado Property, we use high-quality visuals, video tours, and social media to make your home stand out.

It’s been a few weeks (maybe longer), and the buzz has faded. Viewings are few and far between. Updates are sparse. And your agent’s enthusiasm? Nowhere to be seen.

This is an article for Stevenage homeowners who are weighing up an extension against moving. It gives you the maths, the practical snags, and a simple checklist so you can make a confident decision for your family.
