Is Your Home Ready for the Next Chapter... Or Still Clinging to the Last?

Feeling torn about moving home? Discover how to recognise when you're clinging to the past and how to plan your next chapter with confidence.

Some homes fit like a glove. Others start to feel a little tight around the edges. The problem is, when you’ve lived somewhere for years, built your life and made countless memories, it can be hard to tell the difference between staying because it’s right... and staying because it’s comfortable.

Our group of self-employed estate agents speaks to homeowners across the UK every week who tell us:

“We’ve outgrown the space.”
“It doesn’t really work for us anymore.”
“We know it’s time to move on, but we just can’t seem to get going.”

Sound familiar?

There are dozens of reasons why people don’t move, even when deep down, they know it might be time. Maybe it feels disloyal to leave a home where big life moments happened. Maybe it’s the fear of change, or of not finding something better. Or maybe it’s just a lack of time and headspace to even begin.

But here’s the truth: planning a move doesn’t mean you’re walking away from those memories. It means you’re making space for the next ones.

Start by Getting Clear on Why You Feel Stuck

Ask yourself:

What’s frustrating me about this home?
Is this still the right space for my lifestyle?
Am I staying because I want to... or because it’s easier than making a change?

Create a Plan That Makes You Excited, Not Anxious

This is where so many homeowners trip up. They wait until they’re completely overwhelmed to act. But what if you could build your plan early, before the pressure sets in?

Our book, Selling Your Family Home, was created to guide you through every step: from asking the tough questions, to preparing your home, finding the right support, and moving on your timeline.

You don’t have to be ready to sell tomorrow. But if part of you is ready for change, even just a whisper, then let’s start there.

Because sometimes, all it takes to break the cycle is seeing the road ahead laid out clearly, in black and white.

Do You Feel Stuck? Here’s What I Notice About House Sellers in This Position
