What makes a ‘forever home’ unforgettable?
A new survey, commissioned by a leading UK provider of uPVC windows and doors, has attempted to unearth the secret to presenting a house as a ‘forever home’.
The results suggest British buyers are very practical when it comes to our list of must-haves!
60% of people surveyed said a garage was at the top of their wish list. Over half (51%) said a family room was important to them, 42% would be looking for a walk-in closet, and 39% consider a home office essential.
Location also plays a major part in the decision to invest in a forever home, with 43% of respondents sharing their desire to move to a rural location, and another 23% wanting to be close to the coast.
If you think your house could be someone else’s forever home, get in touch for an obligation-free valuation.
