We know many people are looking to move home in 2022, and if you are, there is a lot you need to think about. The leading priority is likely to be finding a suitable place you can afford, but you also need to think about other factors.

If you intend on getting around a lot, you need to think of transport hubs and connections. If you have a young family, you need to give serious thought to the standard and availability of local schools.

However, you should also think about finding a nice place to live.

More and more people are keen to find a home where they feel settled and relaxed. At Austin Property Services, we cover a lot of local housing markets.

We believe Dorchester is a good place to live, and if you are thinking about moving here, we are more than happy to assist you.
