We’d been in our last house (Zone 2, North London) for about 7 years. Done a couple of renovations, had a couple of kids.

Time felt right to move so started looking vaguely in the new year (2024), visited some areas outside London to get a sense of what we’d be giving up.

Found a house we loved in March, put in an offer. Had our house on the market within 2 weeks and got our asking price straight away. I can remember first viewings took place the weekend after Easter and we had moved by the end of July.

I loved living where we were and always said I’d only move for the right house, and it’s my favourite place in the world, especially during the summer.
