There can be many reasons why you decide to leave your current home, call in the removalists, and then move to a new home. When the question is asked of those who do move, as to why they did so, there are five reasons which show up time and time again, more than any others.

So, although the title asks which one applies to you, it may be that your main reason for moving is not one of these five. However, if you read through them carefully, we are sure at least one of them played some small part in you coming to the decision to move to a new house.

It Never Felt Like A Home

One of the main reasons that people move is that the house or apartment they were living never felt like a home to them. It could be that when they were growing up, their house has a special atmosphere full of love and always busy, with neighbours and family constantly popping in.

Often, when we move out from our parents’ home, to live in our own, we expect it to feel the same, but of course it never can, at least not immediately. That creates a real sense of loss, and the desire to move to a new house builds.

This is more of a practical reason for moving home and also one of the most common amongst younger couples when they start having children.
