Are You Downsizing in 2020? Do you need advice on self storage?
So, you’ve decided to downsize/right-size your home. Downsizing is sometimes necessary in order to save money, if your children have left home or maybe you are retiring. All your children are now grown up and have flown the nest. Therefore, there’s no longer any need for a large home. Maybe, you are just looking for a cosy and less labour intensive living space. Like so many, you are trying to reduce your cost of living! This is where self storage can help you achieve all your goals.
Downsizing does not mean that you must part with many of your treasured belongings. Whatever your reason for downsizing is, self storage can be a great option for keeping your belongings safe; whether you’re planning on using it long-term or just temporarily.

Firstly, what is Downsizing?
Downsizing is when you buy a smaller home than the one you currently have.
It is a decision often by those whose children have flown the nest, are struggling to deal with the upkeep of their home or are finding the related costs hard to deal with.
Or you may just be eager for a change, want to simplify your life, want to move closer to friends or family members, or want to start a new phase in life.
Whilst many are trying to upsize throughout their home-buying journey, downsizing offers a variety of advantages!

Boylin’s advice to help you get your next move just right by right-sizing it!
What are the Advantages of Right-Sizing?
There are so many advantages to right-sizing your home such as:
- If you’ve lived in your current home a while, it’s likely to have increased in value, thus offering you a profit in selling your house.
- Buying a smaller, cheaper property will give you a lot of equity left over, to use for whatever you wish – a classic car, a new television or the holiday of your dreams!
- It also means you can buy your new home as a cash buyer, giving you more options, a quicker chain and the ability to live mortgage free! This gives you so much more freedom and agency over your home and livelihood.
- Right-sizing to a smaller home means less upkeep, lower bills and more time to do what you want to do!
- Therefore by downsizing and therefore, right-sizing, you will be saving both money and time – increasing your profits and your ability to do what you love!
- If you are downsizing in later life, it means you can choose a property that will be better suited to your needs as you get older. For example, instead of having to contend with your stairs, limited accessibility or a huge garden requiring maintenance, you can pick a property that can work for you such as a bungalow or a flat.
If you feel you want to downsize but have been hesitant to part with your current home and belongings, Boylin’s Self Store is here with the solution and reassurance that you’ve been waiting for.
