It’s sometimes an emotional decision to downsize, and usually not an easy one to make. But the benefits of moving on can often outweigh these difficulties. Finding a new sense of freedom, being closer to family and loved ones, meeting new friends, discovering new hobbies and interests, and the relief of a secure financial future, can all make moving home a new start, in every sense of the word.
Our experience is that most of the frequent questions on downsizing can be divided into three subjects: time, enthusiasm and finances.
It’s much easier to look forward to moving when you know where you’re moving to. Whilst it’s tempting to sell first before you view other houses, having your next home in your mind can help keep you motivated and positive about your move.

Most downsize moves release equity and knowing how you may enjoy those surplus funds can help to give you a goal to reach for. Maybe now is the time for that long-awaited round-the-world trip, or to a new car or future memories. Whatever it is, planning in detail will help make it more of a reality of your home move.
The price you might achieve for your present home might vary enormously, depending on a range of factors – such as any outstanding maintenance and repair, landscape of the property market, local competition and how your property is presented to market.
At Wilkinson Grant we know how important it is that you have trust and confidence in the people that can help guide you through each step of the process.
It’s not only important to ensure that you achieve the best price for your property but also that the whole move runs smoothly, trouble-free and at a pace that suits you.

We bought and sold through WG and we were very pleased with the service we received. They kept us informed at every stage of the transaction and went the extra mile to accommodate our numerous requests!
Fantastic service. The listing of our property was professional, accurate and highlighted the unique aspects of the house whilst also being pitched at the perfect price. I would not hesitate in recommending Wilkinson Grant.
Highly professional. The After Sales team are worth their weight in gold - chivvying the process along during the most critical phase where most issues can arise. Importantly, they keep tabs on the whole chain and help keep everyone on their toes!
We were very impressed by the professional team at Exeter who provided advice and support at every stage of the sale. The whole process went very smoothly and deserves 5+ stars!
Abigail kept the moving dream possible after a couple of buyers fell through on my house and it looked like it may not happen. So great thanks & appreciation for her efforts and all the other staff who helped.
