Whether you're embracing a simpler lifestyle, planning for retirement, or relocating to a more manageable space, downsizing can be a transformative experience. With expert guidance from Sherry FitzGerald, here’s how to make the move with confidence and clarity.
1. Start with a Market Appraisal
Before you downsize, know what your current home is worth by organising a property valuation. We offer professional valuations to help you understand your selling potential and plan your next move strategically.
2. Define Your Ideal Location
Use our nationwide network to explore smaller homes in areas that suit your lifestyle, whether it’s in an urban city centre, a coastal retreat, or a quiet village. Our online portal, mySherryFitz, lets you browse listings and manage viewings 24/7.
3. Declutter with Purpose
- Focus on what fits your new space and measure carefully.
- Let go of duplicates and unused items.
- Consider donating items to charity or selling through local community groups.
4. Get Mortgage-Ready (If needed)
If you're buying a new home, our mortgage brokers can guide you through the process from calculating affordability to securing the best rates. Our team offers tailored advice for first-time buyers, retirees, and investors.
5. Organise Your Paperwork
- Digitise important documents.
- Update your address with banks, utilities, and insurance providers.
- Review your financial plans with our investment and pension advisors.
6. Plan a Stress-Free Move
- Book trusted movers early.
- Label boxes clearly and pack an essentials kit.
- Use the mySherryFitz platform to track offers and viewings in real time.
7. Embrace the Change
Downsizing isn’t just about less space; it’s about more freedom. With our expert support, you’ll find a home that fits your future, not just your furniture!
