You might be worried about how children will react when you tell them you plan to move, but involve them, whatever their age.  They may identify:-

• Problems with your current home that you have missed
• Have good ideas to include for your new one

Involving them will help them to feel part of the process and help you to understand how hard it may be for them.  Do:-

• Ask them to help make a family “Wishes and Needs” list,
• Talk to them after a viewing, and tell them how well the property
   met the wishes and needs list.
• Take them on any second viewings
• Listen to their views
• Explain your decisions to them

Make safety a priority for your family with:-

• A Gas and electrical safety certificate
• A timber and damp check
• Stairs with banisters
• Avoid many different levels
• An enclosed garden
• Any water features being made safe
