Most people think of selling up as a way to get more cash in the bank. If you manage the right combination of agent, marketing and timing, you can certainly walk away with profit. However, selling costs money, and it introduces uncertainty that you need to be able to support from a financial perspective.
Few questions you need to ask yourself before hand:
- Are you ready to take on the costs of a new home? (especially if you’re thinking of upgrading rather than downsizing)
- If you need to rent in between this and your next property, can you manage?
- If life throws other curveballs, like a loss of job, will you and any dependents be on solid footing?
