101 Reasons to Have Your Property Valued
Life has a funny way of changing, doesn’t it? Sometimes it’s planned, other times it’s not, and as these changes unfold, the place we call “home” often needs to evolve too. At Cooke Curtis & Co, we’ve been privileged to help people through all sorts of life events – the happy, the challenging, and everything in between. And we know there’s no single reason to think about the value of your property. In fact, we’d say there are 101 of them. So here are just a few of the most common ones we see – let us know if one of these strikes a chord or if you have a unique reason of your own - you may make it 102.
Job Move
Sometimes, life calls us in a new direction, whether it’s a new role or a transfer to a new part of the country. A property valuation can be the first sensible step toward understanding how much flexibility a move might give you. Are you ready for a new adventure?
A Growing Family
When you find yourself needing a bit more elbow room – whether it's for kids, pets, or extended family members moving in – a valuation can give you a clearer picture of what’s possible as you look to expand your space and meet your family’s changing needs. We have the expertise to help you establish whether to move or improve!
Downsizing
Perhaps your kids have flown the nest, or you’re looking for a space that’s easier to manage. Downsizing can open the door to new opportunities, and a valuation will help you see the potential to make this transition smoothly. We have the experience to help you ask questions of yourself that you are yet to think of.
Divorce or Separation
Difficult times sometimes mean rethinking the home you share. When life takes a turn, having a fair and informed valuation can help with making decisions that are right for both parties, providing a bit of much needed clarity at this tumultuous time.
Financial Planning
Whether you’re looking to release equity, plan for retirement, or simply get a sense of your options, understanding your property’s worth can be a valuable part of your financial picture. This can be a proactive step toward meeting future goals. We know the property market intimately so can definitely help you make the right decisions based on the right information.
Planning for the Future
Life might be steady now, but it’s always good to be prepared. Knowing your property’s value can help you plan for future investments, family needs, or even just a shift in lifestyle you’ve been dreaming about. In the same way that many people would advocate everyone having regular therapy, we feel knowing the value of your property as a matter of course is a very positive way to prepare you for any or all of the above - knowledge is power!
What’s Your Reason?
Whatever your reason, we’re here to help you take that next step. Each property, like each client, has its own story, and we’re here to offer honest, transparent advice that’s tailored to your situation. We want to develop clients for life, rather than make a quick buck, so let's connect whatever your reason? Reach out to arrange your valuation, or simply drop us a message to start the conversation. We’d love to hear what’s inspiring your next chapter.
