If the above questions sound familiar to you – you’re not alone and that’s because, according to the statistical website Statista.com, more than 365,000 people in the UK are actively thinking about moving home.
But what makes people want to up sticks to seek new pastures?
Below are six of the most common reasons people sell and buy homes in Fife.
More space – Growing families need more room. This is a crucial driver of the housing market – the upwardly mobile upsizers.
Less space – Older people downsizing from a home that’s now too big for their needs is a fast-growing section of today’s market. This has been fuelled by the cost-of-living crisis and how much it costs to heat and maintain larger homes.
Less noise – Nuisance neighbours, or to a milder extent, disagreeable people next door are another popular reason people move home.
More romance / No romance – New relationships are another common factor in people moving. The flip side is separation and divorce, meaning people need to move on.
Better opportunities – Be it a better school catchment area or proximity to work opportunities, this is another popular reason why people buy and sell homes.
Family ties – Moving closer to family, especially when young children are involved, is high on the list of what makes people move.
At Fife Properties, we’ve helped thousands of people move home successfully.

EP52 THE WEALTH CREATION SHOW: Diary of a Property Investor Part 7
How I made my first million and the lessons learned. In this series Jim Parker and Richard Cook are going to take you through the steps by step approach that took Jim from homeless and unemployed in his early 20’s to retiring at 38 years old a millionaire and financially free.
This is the warts and all, laid bare story of Jim’s journey from the beginning. From his struggle with the school system, pivotal moments and key points that led to a change in direction, reprograming his mind for success, how he worked a full-time job while building a property empire as a side hustle and all the lessons learned from buying his first 30 properties including the massive mistakes and monumental victories.
Jim says, “Anyone could have done this, most weren’t prepared to pay the price. If my journey serves as a lesson to help other people get there quicker with less mistakes, it’s been worth telling the story. For some this will literally be a blueprint for success”
