We moved to our forever home by the sea 2 years ago but could be tempted to build our own with a lottery win. One can but dream.

I'd only consider moving if my lovely neighbour sells up or otherwise (hes 84) Hes the perfect neighbour which means a huge amount, more than house size or garden plot size. Hes quiet. It would drive me nuts having a big family with lots of kids move next door

We moved for a bigger house and garden when the children came along, had to have cows nearby because my son was besotted with them. Then we decided to look for a plot and build our own slightly smaller house, it took 15 years to find the right one and we will be ready to move in in the next couple of months. However it’s taken so long to sell up, get planning permission and build it through lockdown that the kids have now left home and its too big again! Looking for a nice view, decent neighbours and quiet area in the countryside

To be somewhere peaceful and quiet would be so amazing, and not too far from the sea would be heaven.

I moved ONCE when I lived with my parents, that married an IT specialist, travelled all over the world, so bricks and mortar hold no sentimental attachment for me, friends, family and memories are all I need

I would have liked to move to Austria to access more efficient healthcare, to be able to move freely within EU countries and visit friends and family in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia.

I finally did move after 36 years at the same address in London! I've come back to my roots in Scotland & live in a lovely village just outside Edinburgh. I had decided that I didn't want to spend my retirement in what has become a ridiculously overcrowded city!
What a great decision it turned out to be! I love it here & although I do miss my daughter, who stayed in London, I get the best of both worlds, as I can go & visit her regularly ( well once this pesky virus is gone).
It's peaceful, and I have lovely neighbours all around me too.
I live five minutes away from my sister so we see each other most days, plus I live only ten minutes away from a small beach & even managed a swim in the sea yesterday evening!

We have moved so many times since we have been together. I couldn't count the number of times. We started out in London, went to Kent, then to Jamaica, then to the Midlands, then to the South, now we are off to Dorset. There were several houses / homes in each area. My friends complain that I ruin their address books with crossings out.
Mr LullyDully was an RAF child so he finds it hard to settle. He moved throughout his childhood until he went to boarding school. I happily stayed in one house from birth but have been on the move since I went to college at 18.

I am ready to stay put now and this new house is supposed to be the ' dotage house '. We shall see.

To move to a nicer house

We downsized three years ago, from an old characterful house in the Montagne Noire, France. (I still miss it!) We arrived in the UK in a blizzard. We chose a modern apartment, very close to the town centre of a charming market town: it was important to be able to walk into town as we could in France. However, we are now so utterly fed up with the dreadful congestion whenever we visit family, that we (despite my famous last words - "I am never moving again") hope to move next month. The Covid pandemic has held, us packed and ready to move, since Christmas. I most definitely am not going to move again, it took us ages to find a vibrant, charming town in our chosen district that we liked, most towns now, sadly seem run down and dreary. Anyway, we are up sizing slightly, location being our number one priority.

We were about to retire from a busy B&B business to downsize and had put it up for sale when Covid forced us to close. Since then we have realised that we love what we have created here. We have removed it from sale and are now concentrating on turning the whole property into our forever home having realised that the money isn’t as important as our happiness and comfort in retirement. The little Welsh town that we live in has a good community spirit and all the features and amenities that we would need to pay a fortune for if we moved nearer to our children in England.

We have recently just moved into our first home and we love it , we would only move now when we retire to downsize and live by the sea if we can

for peasce and quiet and fresher air . i want to move to worthing west sussex and find a council transfer is really hard... but having another go right now..

I’d love to move if I could find a bungalow I could afford within easy reach of my family not easy to do in the suburbs of London. I really can’t face buying an apartment with no private garden.

When I retire, I have a huge yearning to live near the sea or at least near water of some sort. I am terrified of the sea and would never go in it but it is beautiful to watch. In the past I moved to end up in a gorgeous Victorian cottage in a village and later with children moved to a more modern place in the same village to have same lifestyle but large garden. Then I moved into a big town but now yearn for a small cottage again when I was at my happiest.

My husband died and I moved to be near the children who helped improve the new house, a former council house in a nice position.
After my 200 year old house in Oxfordshire, I found the rooms small apart from the kitchen dining area which had been extended, The house itself, as a building, was spacious with a large patio and garden and utility room and I settled there until I had to move after five years to help my daughter

We would love to move to a bungalow. We had a big detached house, and after the family married and moved into their own homes, we decided to downsize and be near to the shops and main road. Talk about be careful what you wish for! We have moved into a three bed semi detached house. Yes near to the shops, yes near to the main road and several bus routes. But yes, we are situated between two DIY enthusiasts, one on each side. So each day is filled with a symphony of banging, sawing, plane-ing drilling. Four houses within two doors and opposite have had extensions built, houses reroofed. Plus after only living here for three years, we both now are finding the stairs so difficult. So now we are saving up to move again, to pay the estate agents, surveyer, solicitor, removal people. Be very sure of your new property before you move.

We've moved into a 3 generation household with daughter, son in law and grandsons of 5 and 8. We now have a bigger house, a garden and 4 adults to share childcare/old fogies care

We would love to move to a nice home that isn't overlooked by other neighbours. We find properties are getting too expensive for us on our pension, as well as the added costs of moving... it looks like we will not be going anywhere anytime soon.

We were born and bred in London, and then we just wanted to live by a beach. So we've moved to the Isle of wight - beaches all around and a slower pace of life. And we're hugely popular for visitors, always one of our 4 children and grandchildren here. We love it.

I love my house and the area where I live, but could see it becoming too much for me. At that point, I think I'd look for a bungalow rather than a flat so I still have some privacy and control

I would be encouraged to move home if all the following were satisfied:
Fairly quiet area established so that buildings that are already there are all there will be.
Near a small market town.
Good transport links.
Reasonable sized garden to cultivate and be peaceful in.
Have input into the home so that it reflects me and feeds my soul.

moving home with Willerby Bespoke

Only if they started building heritage-style thatched cottages.

I’d love To move into a bungalow, with a small manageable garden. We have have been in our current home for 30 years the garden is on a slope so difficult for me to mow the grass. To live near the sea would be wonderful.

I would love to downsize our home to something with a smaller garden, less financial outgoings, warm and in good decorative order. A two bed bungalow would be ideal or even a two bed static home as long as there was outside space for a couple of garden chairs and a few pots. I am finding our large garden more and more difficult to maintain and it would break my heart to see it become overgrown gardens as we get older.
