Housing
Making choices about your future housing can be a difficult and very stressful time whether you are retiring, leaving a job with tied accommodation, or are faced with having to leave your existing accommodation for different reasons such as disability or a relationship breakdown.
The type of housing choices available to you will vary depending on your circumstances.
Things such as whether you are single or have a family, your current housing situation and whether you have money you can use to secure a new home will all be key issues.
As soon as you know you need to begin looking for a new home you should take steps right away and begin to look at the options.
Things to think about:
- Do you want to rent or buy your next home?
- How many bedrooms do you need?
- Where do you want to live?
- Where will you be working?
- Do you need parking?
- What local amenities do you need such as schools, shops, supermarkets, and transport links?
