Thinking about moving to a smaller home?

Spacious house with childhood memories, now too big.
The children have grown up, and the house that saw them grow and thrive now feels too big, even empty. Maintaining it requires considerable effort, and climbing the stairs becomes tiring. Thinking about moving to a smaller home then seems like an obvious solution. As we age, the desire to be closer to amenities, shops, or even one of our children’s homes is very common. So, what should you do when you’re a homeowner and want to move?

Sell or rent out your property?

If you decide to rent out your property, several aspects must be considered to welcome new tenants, such as renovations and other work, which can represent a significant expense. Then, you will need to select your tenant and manage the rental yourself or hire a property management company. Another option is to sell your house to buy an apartment, for example.

How does Swifthome help you achieve your project?

Whatever your choice, Swifthome offers solutions tailored to your situation through four simple and effective steps that make your project possible:


1) Complete the online estimate form, 
2) Receive a visit from one of our experts to evaluate your property,
3) Obtain a firm offer valid for 7 days, and
4) Sign the deed of sale.


At the notary’s office, you will have the option to choose between a direct sale (with immediate handover of the keys) or a deferred sale if you want to stay in your home for a certain period. If you choose the second option, you will receive an initial deposit of 20%, which will allow you to reserve your new purchase. When you are ready to move and hand over the keys, the balance will be paid to you.


This is how Swifthome’s simple and effective solutions allow you to have the funds needed to acquire your future new property while giving you time to organize your move.
