Relocating to a Larger Home
Relocating and upsizing simultaneously is a thrilling prospect; the start of a new life at a new house in a new locale with so much to explore. This is an exciting opportunity; however, it can be a daunting change with many big decisions to undertake and the risk of huge financial loss if you get it wrong.
​
Moving to the West Country from abroad or the big city certainly affords more bang for your budget and will provide you with myriad options from which to choose. Outside of the city of Bath, the surrounding counties are dotted with beautiful market towns and quintessential villages delivering a more private way of life but with easy road and rail access back to the City.
Upsizing?
Why Choose Us?
​
Many people choose the West Country as the ideal location for their new home and life. It’s suited to a more considered way of life but is within easy reach of London when work beckons you back. We know, we’ve embarked on the very journey ourselves which is why we understand your motives to make the move and what you are hoping to find with your new lifestyle in your new home.
​
Partnering with Otters Home Search provides you with a bespoke property search agency who will hunt out the best properties suited perfectly to your needs in the best locations throughout the West Country. There’s no need to feel overwhelmed at the daunting number of decisions to be made, OHS will act in your sole interest undertaking extensive research, managing the property purchase and move to your new, upgraded property. Where and when you need to make a decision, we will expertly guide you through the process relying on our over-40 years as property professionals.
A Return to Your Roots
​
Perhaps you are returning to the UK following a stint working abroad and would prefer to live in a quintessential country market time where you can achieve more with your budget than the city-centre flat you had previously occupied.
Two bedrooms or more are now needed for your growing family, with outside space for you all to enjoy the changing seasons. Otters Home Search will provide you with property and lifestyle insights on the area of today; the West Country has changed a lot in the 20 or so years since you were a local.
A Growing Family
​
Perhaps you’re leaving London to purchase your first large family home so your children can grow up near their grandparents and have a quintessential countryside childhood. All the while having access to outstanding independent schools and the vast amenities the West Country provides, from farmers’ markets to theatres, and Michelin-starred restaurants to a local pub.
Your move to a larger home could be dictated by a family growing to incorporate your parents as well as your children. The new home may need to be adapted for accessibility. These are circumstances experienced firsthand by Otters Home Search having to develop a listed building for accessibility needs. We are well placed to advise you on move of this nature.
A New Home
​
Town houses are available for you to fill with family life, but sizeable country cottages are equally suited, with expansive gardens leading to fields for long walks. There’s plenty of space to entertain your friends from out of town but great transport links so they can shoot home. Additional rooms come included in your requirements so you can work from home and have children’s bedrooms without them having to double as both.
​
Don’t worry, a move to the country doesn’t mean a move away from culture and a vibrant lifestyle. Having your own space to retreat into still comes with access to independent coffee shops, bakeries, cinemas and galleries, museums, bars and restaurants. Your lifestyle won’t change but the location will. And for the better.
