Should we downsize to a smaller place? What if we lose the flexibility our family house gives us? Town or country? Old or new?

It’s hard enough making these decisions at the best of times, but in the general uncertainty we’re all facing at the moment it is of course even more difficult to see the way ahead.   

Blue Cedar Homes has just entered its second decade of developing small communities of luxury properties for those aged 55 and over. What we can certainly have confidence in telling you is that it is one thing deciding to move to a new home designed for later living – and quite another finding one. A new report from the estate agent Savills points to a drastic shortfall. To meet soaring demand, Savills calculates, house-building for later living needs to grow massively by 65% to 1.2 million homes. There is a problem with the existing stock too; more than half was built or last refurbished in the 1980s.

Let’s be optimistic though. Let’s assume that you are open to the idea at least of a move to a new home that better fits your needs for now and the future. This we can help with! So what might be on your checklist for a move in 2019?

High on the agenda are almost always going to be size and place. One of the buzzwords in property at the moment is ‘right-sizing’. Why would you remain in your four- or five-bedroom home when it’s just the two of you there most of the time? This is all very well, but if you’re used to having lots of quality space inside, outside and in the neighbourhood, the idea of leaving the much-loved family home and moving somewhere smaller might well not fill you with enthusiasm. Our answer to this dilemma is that in moving to a low-maintenance property that can cater for your changing needs, you do not, and should not have to compromise on quality or location. You don’t have to say goodbye to spacious layouts and generous room sizes or the kind of neighbourhood you’re used to.

This is why Blue Cedar Homes creates developments in the most desirable towns and villages, from coast to country, typically including 10 -15 detached freehold properties carefully crafted to blend with the local architecture and landscape. As well as ensuring that our low maintenance homes release our home buyers from tedious property chores, we strive to create luxury in every aspect.

Another thing we can say with confidence is that everyone’s needs are inevitably going to change. Thus, our internal floorplans are spacious, with extra wide doorways and adaptable features to accommodate single floor living.
