As one of the top stress-inducing events in our lives, moving home can be a fractious time when you simply want everything to go smoothly. Add children (and pets) to the mix and the levels of worry increase as you want to ensure nothing gets left behind (favourite toys), the journey to your new home is problem free (no tantrums) and that you settle in as quickly as possible. Here are some top tips for moving home with children.

Our homes are our castles and we have to love how the space makes us feel. We all put our own tastes and styles into our homes through all aspects of interior décor.

Now is the time to plan your Spring cleaning and there is a wonderful trend towards embracing natural cleaning methods currently, to avoid the harsh chemicals being added to our water systems. Let us share some great variations of cleaning methods to make your home sparkle naturally. Some of the substances and ingredients we suggest may already be in your cupboards, others are easily and inexpensively obtained so why not have a go?

If moving home is on your ‘To-Do’ list for this coming year then you may have many criteria in your mind to choose between...town or country, house or flat, older property or new build. Here we can highlight the top reasons to ensure new build properties are high up on your search list.

Moving into a new home prior to the festive season is great timing. It’s the perfect opportunity to sort out your existing decorations, keep the favourites and recycle or donate to charity everything else so that you can add to the excitement of moving into your wonderful new home and treat the interior to some fresh decorations. Maybe you’ve always wanted a show stopping tree in your hallway as guests arrive, have longed to dress your fireplace with pine branches and beautiful stockings.

Do you find your house is bursting at the seams at Christmas?  End up borrowing the neighbours chairs to seat everyone around the table for dinner?  Do the kids drive you crazy with all their new toys getting under your feet? 
With all the new houses we build, size really does matter and you get more sq foot for your money compared to a lot of other new build properties – perfect when you need more space at Christmas!

Perhaps 2017 could be the year to get the bigger home that you need?
