List places/towns that you would want to live in. List what kind of home you would want with number of rooms etc. Do this individually then cross check and decide what you would compromise on. Check Rightmove for prices and availability. Check for amenities such as shops, doctors, nearest hospital, close to bus or trains etc. Think about weather if you are planning on moving quite a distance. Can you cope with heat or cold? Do you want a garden or are you thinking about an apartment? Some people suggest renting in a place for six months to get a feel for it. Unfortunately nowadays that's not so easy. I moved four miles from the house I brought up my two children. It wasn't a big distance but it was a very different area and took me a while to settle in. Be open minded and look at areas and houses that are maybe not what you would have chosen. I had discounted a semi detached bungalow as I've lived in detached houses for decades, however the bungalow I bought is a semi but very private from next door neighbour.
