During the global Covid-19 pandemic, working remotely from home was quickly implemented for a large number of businesses in order to survive during the crisis. With restrictions easing, there is a lot of talk about employees negotiating more flexible working options, including some days working from home or permanent remote work arrangements.
This flexibility gives opportunity for families and professionals to think about their lifestyle and relocate towards a more country lifestyle with less cityscape and more landscape and green space. Many people have had time to stop and re-assess their priorities, and relocating is now a plan for now — not a 10-year dream or retirement plan.
Before making a move, it’s worth thinking through your options carefully. Do you sell your city property or do you rent it out? Do you purchase a property in the country or do you rent? Do you break your lease if you are renting and relocate now rather than wait?
Here are some things to consider when planning a relocation: factor in moving costs and whether you’re downsizing or upsizing your belongings; research property market prices in your new area by talking to a local agent; and check that internet and essential facilities will meet your needs before making the move.
