The Telegraph spoke to Claire Whisker of property advisor platform First In The Door about downsizing in the wake of the Autumn Budget.
One of the major hurdles for downsizers is saying goodbye to what has often been a cherished home for decades.
Claire Whisker, of the property advisory platform First in the Door, says: “Moving after such a long time – and after the housing market has changed so much – can feel overwhelming, particularly when transitioning to a smaller space. They will likely need to sell some belongings, which can lead to additional feelings of anxiety and sadness as they let go of memories.”
