So many of us have spent a lot longer in our homes than normal. This has been due to the restrictions put in place following the Covid outbreak where people have been forced in to lockdown, working from home and home schooling.

When asked, the general population said that the one thing they had really struggled with during these times was space. There simply wasn’t enough space for everyone to work in. It may be that you just need to rearrange your room or declutter so you can fit in an extra desk, but if you simply do not have the floor space then it may be time to consider if you want to move to a larger home or improve your current one.

Many estate agencies are seeing an increase in traffic to their website and enquiries. At the moment there is also a stamp duty holiday which is due to end at the end of March so people looking to buy a property are keen to get it sorted out prior to this date.

It may be that you decide that you actually really like your home and the location, in which case it is probably worth while looking in to if you can build an extension to give you the extra space needed rather than having to move home.
