Your game of Monopoly is about to begin, 
so pass through 'go' and aim to win!

Why Move? 
eople do it all time don't they, but it doesn't mean it's easy!   In fact you're about to embark on one of life's most stressful events, so we'll help you do some homework now and make sure it's worth it!Suggested ideas for your lists

List your priorities and know when to compromise.
First of all it may assist to actually write down your reasons for moving - this list will be useful to refer to later.  It is easy to let the enthusiasm for moving over-rule the logic so remember in reality moving is always expensive, emotionally draining and hard work, but people do it and enjoy it!  So can you!  Click on our smiley notepad for some suggestions for your priority list.

Affordability must be one of your main priorities
- avoid an ambitious dream being financed by a life-time of hard work.   Don't let this quote apply to you:  "Home - where's home?  It's the place I pay all the bills for, but rarely see!"  Be realistic and perhaps accept a huge effort in the short-term, but not endless sacrifices that can cost you relationships and far too much leisure time!   Your
planning must also include knowledge of and preparation for the actual costs of moving.  You may have to allow several thousands of pounds for moving expenses in addition to the price of your new home.   

Don't rush in where angels fear to
tread.   Don't trip up!
At best most things may fall into place and the whole experience will go well, but equally you will run the risk of facing disappointment.  Be methodical - an organised approach is essential to reduce some of the stress and still be prepared for unexpected obstacles and disappointments.  Even if you're lucky your move will still absorb much of your valuable time and energy.  What's more you're likely to find that you may have little control over some crucial stages of moving, third parties especially may upset your plans and timing too easily.  For these reasons become as fatalistic as possible, if it is meant to be - it will be.  If not, be positive, something better is round the corner.
