Property 2017: good resolutions for tenants

January 6, 2017

Losing weight, asking for a raise and exercising are some of the most common new year resolutions. But, for your home, what do you intend to do? Here are some ideas you can turn into a project for your home sweet home!

Move and find something better

Bigger, more spacious, brighter, with a lift... there are many reasons you may want to move. And, when you think about it too much, that may quickly become an obsession. Except you can never find the time or the will to pack boxes. Rather than getting depressed every day on your way home, roll up your sleeves and look for a new place! Over 5,000 rent listings are currently published on our website so there's sure to be one for you! This way.

Reduce your expenses

Your rent is certainly high enough for your wallet so think about cutting back your expenses (if you haven't done so already). Turning off lights when you leave a room, closing doors behind you to prevent drafts and keep heat inside and adapting your heating in living areas are many small gestures that could cut down your bills.

Redecorate

Are you tired of always seeing the same colour in the kitchen, horrible tiles in the bathroom or a depressing painting in the hallway? In 2017, redecorate the inside of your home with your new tastes and desires! You will see how you'll feel much better later.

Save up to buy

Have you given this some thought? Your current rent could cover loan payments that would make you a homeowner. It's sure to be slightly more expensive but, in the end, you'll be better off. Get advice on obtaining a mortgage with our partner ING and discover over 16,000 ads for sale currently on our website! This way.

Check your insurance coverage

Finally, take advantage of the new year to review your home insurance. It is important to cover your home well so you can be reimbursed if something goes wrong. Contact our partner Lalux Insurance to compare or buy insurance for your home.

So, do you feel inspired? What resolutions will you make this year? Tell us in the comments or on our Facebook page.
