Most mortgages have a span of 25 or 30 years, but home-owners move more frequently than that. The reason is usually that they are upsizing or downsizing.
As an upsizer, you have an extremely busy life. You’re combining career and caring for a family, and now you’re moving as well.
That means you’re juggling time already – we’re aware of the stress that puts on you and the importance of logistics and planning. We communicate efficiently andwork to keep everything to schedule. Whether you’re planning simultaneous settlements or you’ve arranged other accommodation for the time between homes, you need confirmed dates which don’t change.
We also know how important it is to provide support and certainty for your children. Your kids may never have moved house before. They may be changing schools as well,or even towns.
For one upsizing family, we arranged early entry to the new property to set up the children’s bedrooms. This meant that on the day of the move, they had a place to go. They were happy and comfortable in their new home, leaving their parents free to manage the rest of the process.
As your conveyancers, our role is to give you certainty and to save you as much time as possible. Moving house involves plenty of admin and paperwork on top of your already busy life. We make that as easy as possible for you, so that you can enjoy your new, more spacious home.
Unlike first home buyers, upsizers tend to be buying and selling property at the same time. This means you face particular challenges.
Where a move is within NSW, it makes sense to have the same conveyancer handle both your purchase and your sale. This makes it much easier to manage timelines and ensure simultaneous settlement occurs.
Contract Conveyancing is licensed for NSW transactions only, but we regularly work with clients moving interstate. We are committed to communication with your broker, your bank and your real estate agent already, so liaising with an interstate conveyancer is not a challenge.
Moving house is always an emotional experience – downsizing can be even more so.
You may have spent decades in one home. It’s where your children grew up. You’re leaving that behind. And whether you’re moving into a smaller independent home or into a village, you’re also disposing of much-loved furniture and household items.
If you’re retired, you may have flexibility about timelines and schedules, so there’s less pressure to achieve simultaneous settlement. Chances are you’re familiar with the buying and selling process too. For downsizers, we strive to have every thing early, so that we’re ready to complete the sale even before you exchange. This gives you space and time after exchange to focus on the more personal aspects of saying goodbye to your family home.
Whether you’re upsizing or downsizing, our goal at Contract Conveyancing remains the same. We aim to understand your goals and priorities in moving, so that we can match our communication as closely as possible to your needs. Buying and selling is always stressful, but a good conveyancer can give you guidance and confidence to keep that stress to a minimum. Make your next move less stressful by contacting us today.
