MOVING TO A TOWN: SOME ESSENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS
by Rachael Kaluza, Director and Licensed Conveyancer at Michael J Wey & Co
Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant city life or seeking proximity to work, moving to a town is exciting. Before making the leap, consider the following key points:
URBAN NOISE: Living near a train station can be convenient but investigate the proximity of railways and train frequency. Check if local roads are noisy at night and observe nearby pubs during closing hours to gauge any rowdy behaviour.
CHECK YOUR PAPERWORK: If you’re moving to a flat, we can review the lease terms carefully and advise you on hidden costs such as service charges.
COST OF LIVING: Urban areas often have limited housing supply, leading to higher rent and property prices. Beyond housing costs, factor in day-to-day expenses – tempting coffee shops and entertainment options can add up.
FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH THE AREA: Different parts of towns vary significantly. Visit potential neighbourhoods at different times of day and consider renting locally to ensure the area matches your lifestyle.
TRANSPORT OPTIONS: Check bus and train routes for journeys to work and school. If you’ll be driving, check local traffic patterns, especially during rush hours.
FIND YOUR SANCTUARY: Explore local green spaces to find a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle.
CHECK PLANNING PROPOSALS: Towns are subject to ongoing redevelopment. We can investigate if local building works might impact your enjoyment of your new home.
While urban life offers convenience and excitement, being well-informed ensures a smoother transition.
