How to decide where to move to

If you are thinking of moving home, there are many factors at play that you’ll need to consider how do you decide where to move to?

If you travel to work, you could draw a circle on a map with your work location at the centre at a radius width which represents a one hour or less commute to work. Within the circle are all the locations where you could move to. In a large city such as Liverpool, there could be many possible areas to live in. After compiling a list of potential places to live, narrow the choice down by considering quality of life.

Many factors contribute to a decent quality of life, and these can differ for different people. For families, good schools are important. Some love being in the countryside or having a large garden. Friends and family close by is an important feature for many. Younger people may want good bars and restaurants in the area, or top-class gym and sports facilities. Quirky independent shops and cafes are attractive to many. Environmentally aware people may value access to good transport links as they don’t want to be reliant on the car.

The cost of living is increasingly important when looking at the quality of life. This includes the cost of housing and rent, as well as council tax costs.
