We are only likely to move when we downsize in a couple of years. When we do we will look for a smaller more manageable garden with few renovations required. It will need to have easy access into the house for when we are older because access is such a problem to the older person in so many older properties in my rural area. I’d need it to be close to public transport for the same reasons.

I live in the best place in the world,Cornwall.Born and bred here,so what's not to love? However if the opportunity arose,my next best place would be somewhere in the Cotswolds.I have visited a few times and just love those quaint Cotswold stone cottages,Rose's round the door etc.

My current home is the one in which I have lived the longest. I am quite attached as I have made it into my own little oasis but I don't like the area so that would very much encourage a move. Also, as I get older the stairs and garden will undoubtedly become a problem.

very hard to move if you are on local council. been trying 10 years plus and nothing .if i won the lottery .i would deft move ..

The only reason to move would be new neighbours!

I really don’t want to move but now find the stairs a bit tricky and refuse to have a stairlift fitted as it will ruin my beautiful home. At some time I’ll just have to move kicking and screaming.

bigger garden, would love to grow my own vegetables

We have moved typically moved home for work. Then we moved to a lovely area for space to breathe - not downsizing but to a remote area so lots of space. Now the time has come to downsize and we've been very lucky to be able to choose a new build with all its easy-to-run advantages and located near to all essentials. So it's all been conscious decisions to move to suit the lifestyle we've needed at the time.

I would like a bigger house, but I would have to come into a lot of money before I could consider it.

Devon or Cornwall, anywhere with a long sandy beach o walk on.

We ought to downsize but at the current time we might have 2 of our grown up children coming home

if money was ok that would prompt us to move if possible to somewhwere with more ground area

We will finally have an empty(ish) nest next week and will be seriously looking into downsizing. We have a list of "must haves" for a smaller house and would like to have money left over for some holidays.
Being near public transport links for visiting family is important as is being within walking distance of essential shops, services and green space. The last 3 have been godsends in recent weeks.

I would love to be able to move from my large 200 year old flat into somewhere smaller and nearer to town , so I could walk to the shops. Now I have to get the car out if I want to go to town. I sold my flat at the end of last year and had found a lovely little town centre cottage, but the sale fell through and I am still in the large old flat, where something is always going wrong.

I would move to a bungalow with nice size garden, preferably near a coast, in a rural area, and not too far from my children/grandkids. Given my children are spread around half the country it’s difficult to choose!! Have been in present house for over 40 years...so hard to take the step, but never say never, it might happen..price obviously plays a big part, but bungalows are often premium priced.

We moved into larger houses when we were younger which meant that now we have been able to downsize quite comfortably. Although inside space is something that I miss now, we definitely had too much space in our last house. The garden is larger though which is a big plus. We haven't needed to move to be near anybody which again does constrict many people when moving. We just found a house at the right price that we could 'lick into shape' and went for it. We have never looked back.

Used to move a lot in our younger years now still stuck with a mortgage in early 60’s would like to move now to downsize and enjoy our last years. But house prices now will be going down as said in the press so we shall have to wait.

Two years ago we moved half a mile across the village from a cottage with a large garden, down a steep hill, to a modern bungalow on a bus route and near the village shop. We had been in the cottage for over thirty years and though we loved the garden, it was becoming to much to manage. DH insisted for years he could still do the grass, hedges and house maintenance but following illness, he got the idea of moving and he is happy to be here and not have the worry of the previous property. We won't be moving again and either one of us could manage here alone..

I would move tomorrow, we have lived here for 40 years and our next door neighbours have always been eccentric but these days are awful and I feel uncomfortable being in the garden unless I hide behind the trellis.
My husband says we are too old to move as well as expensive. we are 71 and 75 so I feel we are stuck here, very resentful.

I've recently added a ground floor extension to make it easier for me to continue to live in my current home if I become disabled so I'm unlikely to move now unless I win the lottery. I might buy a bungalow then with a smaller garden, but not that close to neighbours and a semi rural aspect. Location is more important than a house being perfect.

We are very happy and settled in our current home and love the area and also lucky enough to have good neighbours but I would be tempted to move house if we got new nightmare neighbours

I want to move to be closer to my daughter. Also, as we have recently retired, we would like to downsize.
Our next home would ideally be ready to move into and easy to maintain. A garden would be great for our small dog.

We would love to move to be closer to our family or to get a better outdoor space because we love to garden. We don't move often so it needs to be exactly the right place.

We are in the process of renovating a bungalow that is intended to be our forever home. The things that encouraged a move were my health and the sress of decades of living under the neighbours from hell. My better half was raised in a bungalow that his mum still lives in so had always wanted one of his own, detached, with nice decent-sized garden, garage, workshop, shed, greenhouse, conservatory so we will have all those things, and decent neighbours in a quiet street. If we came into any money that wasn't enough for a big move and a next door property became available we'd try to buy it and move our current neighbour to become our new neighbour - she's lovely and has already said she's pleased for us but after nearly 30 years will miss us - we'd love to have been in a position to take her with us.

It's unlikely we will ever want to move again unless we won the National Lottery/Euromillions or Set For Life draw and could afford 'the dream' of a farm, woodland, outbuildings, barns etc or a small-holding and enough cash to be able to buy in some help or offer opportunities to local people and/or a long-term prospect for a young person who loves animals, nature, working the land etc and is keen to learn and be a part of the dream.

My aunt & uncle moved to somewhere like the homes you describe but she died last month and I don't know what my uncle's future plans are - as far as I know they were happy, loved having a home with everything brand new after a lifetime of 'making do' and having neighbours of similar ages and shared interests. Not sure it would suit us but who knows what the future will bring. I'd be unlikely to be able to manage living alone.

We have been in the same house for almost 40 years. Although it's in the suburb of a big city, it is quiet and peaceful. We are not overlooked and have a canal at the back. We would only consider moving if we were unable to maintain the house and garden. The house next door is for sale at the moment. The lady who lived there is now in a home. She has been a lovely neighbour for the whole of our time here. If we have troublesome neighbours we would be tempted to move.
