I would move for a house with a view, and/or to be near water (river or ocean).

(I really miss our previous home where the kitchen window looked out over our beautiful back garden. Where we live now in London, my kitchen window looks out over a dismal public access area. Thankfully we do have a lovely patio with double doors opening onto to it from the lounge ... )

The whole COVID-19 saga has led me to question a move. While currently reasonably settled in small yet reasonably sized area with good transport links etc I feel it has led me to think seriously about a move in the next few years.

My move would be to a small, confined area such as Gurnsey where I would have access to wondeful secenary and beaches. All I could want in this little area and as a bonus I would have family a short hop away in Jersey. For me the ideal of this or other such smaller area appeals more than ever. Being confined to space makes you re-evaluate what you want in life and as I get older I feel much more inclined to look at alternative options and give them serious consideration.

A 3-5year plan for this would be reasonable, depending on commitments to work etc. A goal to work towards for the future.

We moved from London as the traffic fumes were aggravating my asthma and I was admitted to hospital several times. We now live in a bungalow at the top of a hill, in a small town, and my asthma is no longer a problem.

I would have to win the lottery but then I'd move home.

They might seem like bricks and mortar, but homes hold a lot of memories that make you feel attached to them. But the desire to move home - whether that’s to be closer to family, to have more money to do the things you love, or to achieve a more relaxed lifestyle - can outweigh that attachment, and Willerby would like to hear about what encourages you to consider a home move.

Here’s what Willerby has to say: ‘Willerby has been creating homes for over 70 years and are exceptionally experienced when it comes to making quality homes that are truly built to last. Our designers have created the perfect blend of style and practicality in all our park homes with amazing space saving ideas, luxurious touches and beautiful interiors and exteriors. Our park homes are built to last and offer stylish, low maintenance living for those who want to paint landscapes, not the hallway! View, download or order your brochure here. Get inspiration and details for our range of homes.’

Do you move home often for a change in scenery? What makes you think about moving now? Would it be to downsize? Release money for retirement? To achieve a more relaxed lifestyle? Perhaps you’d consider moving to be closer to family? Or maybe it’s appealing because you get the freedom to start from scratch with your design ideas?

Whatever the things that make you consider moving home, share on the thread below and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where one GNer will win a £200 voucher for the store of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!
