With the average cost of moving somewhere in the realm of £8,000, getting a new home isn’t something you want to be doing very often.
So it’s important when choosing your home to decide if it suits all your needs – both present ones and those that may come up in the future.
For example, if you are a young couple getting on to the property ladder for the first time, you might go for a one-bedroom flat as that is all you need at the moment.
But what about in a few years’ time when you want to have children? Trying to get a home the first time round that will last you forever is definitely a cost-effective strategy.
And buying something a little bigger that you had previously thought about doesn’t always have to come with a much bigger price tag – especially if you look outside of the city centre.
Take this lovely family home in Peterhead: 2 Pusey Place is on the market for offers over £162,500 and is a three-bedroom semi-detached house. As well as having ample space for a growing family, it has also been stylishly decorated and well maintained, meaning all you would have to do is move your furniture in.
There are many delightful rooms such as the good-sized lounge which is bright and airy thanks to a large window and gives great views of the bay, and the modern kitchen and dining room on an open-plan basis, meaning you can cook up a storm while keeping an eye on the kids.
Upstairs, there are two great-sized double bedrooms and one single bedroom, all benefiting from built-in storage as well as a stunning shower room.
Outside to the front, the tarred driveway provides off-street parking and leads to the single garage. At the back, there is a fenced garden which has been mainly laid to lawn and gravel.
