Thinking about your next move when your home has outgrown you

“A lot of people think they might like to live by the sea, but unless they’re moving down the country, they’re not prepared for how much they’ll spend,” says Karen Mulvaney, managing director of The Buyer’s Agent, where her job is to find properties and help people complete the sale.

“It’s a very stressful thing, giving up a home having been in it for a long time, so make sure you’re able for it,” says Mulvaney. “If you’re not excited about it, don’t do it.”
