HELP & ADVICE

No not necessarily. It is always best practice to obtain at least three valuations from different Estate Agents. Estate Agents vary in success in different areas and also differ as far as their fees are concerned. Effortless Relocation will always obtain at least three valuations and negotiate a competitive fee. Remember that the Estate Agent has a contract with you not the prospective buyer so is working for you. Never feel you are asking too many questions or being a nuisance. You are paying a fee for a good professional service.

No. If you are funding your own care home facility you can choose the home which most suites your needs and in the area which best suites you.

You do, with all the other residents.

Because your friend likes the area will not necessarily mean that you will. We are all different. It is best to visit the area and check out what the local shops and local transport is like. If you have certain hobbies you may find it beneficial to see if there are clubs and associations which may interest you. If you have good friends in the area it’s a good idea to spend a few days with them and get a feel to what the area has to offer you, with your needs in mind. Your friends or family may move away and you do not want to be left alone without having independent things to do for yourself. It is important to meet new friends as well as spend time with your older closer friends.
