    moving on from a home that’s too big and hard to maintain at their age

    Big props to you for helping them out.

      This will be the first of many trips I think. Their son left the house in a mess while they were away so step one is making it presentable enough to invite an agent. And then there will be many rounds of throwing out 30+++ years of crap. This place is on a very steep slope and the house itself has 3 steep levels, with high ceilings gathering cobwebs - it’s a wonder they didn’t move sooner.

        That sounds like a hard place to maintain no matter one’s age.

          Yeah, it would suit someone who doesn’t mind that much dust. It’s in a very beautiful tree-filled location and close to schools, amenities etc and the house has lots of character so I do think someone will buy it. It would be a wonderful house to grow up in, lovely neighbourhood too.
