Growing families
There's nothing more important than family and we're here to help find the perfect home for yours.
If you need more bedrooms for your blossoming family or have always dreamed of a garden, we’ll help you find it fast, and the best thing is, you can steer clear of time-consuming chains.
Finding the family home that’s right for you
Finding the right home starts with knowing what you need. With so many choices available, narrowing your search can make all the difference. Start by thinking about what truly matters to you – what does your ideal home look like?
It’s easy to fall in love with a place and overlook the practicalities, so before you begin your search, make a list of the must-have features that will suit your family life. That way, you can find a new home that’s not just beautiful, but the perfect fit.
Is it time to upsize?
Is your home starting to feel a little crowded? As your family grows and your needs change, the space that once felt perfect might now feel a little snug. If you’re looking for more room to live, play and make memories, it could be time to find a new home that fits your family’s next chapter.
Here are some of the key benefits of finding a home with more space.
- Room to breathe. More space means less clutter, more comfort and dedicated areas for work, hobbies and family time.
- Room to grow. Whether it’s extra bedrooms, a bigger kitchen or a larger garden, upsizing gives you the space to suit your family’s changing needs.
- A better investment. A larger home in a good location can be a solid investment for the future.
- More quality time. A bigger home gives you more room to enjoy quality time together, as well as the space to unwind apart.
- A place to put down roots. Upsizing gives you a home that’s not just bigger, but better suited to the way you and your family live.
Work out your budget
Before you start searching for your dream family home, take the time to understand your budget. Consider how much you have to spend and what you can comfortably afford each month.
Schemes for family buyers
We know that moving to a bigger home is a big step, which is why we offer a range of schemes to make upsizing easier. If selling your current property is putting you off buying, our Part Exchange service could be the help you need to make your dream family home a reality.
Finding the right area for your family
Finding the right location is just as important as finding the right home. Take some time to explore different areas online using tools like Google Maps, then see how well they fit your family’s lifestyle.
Can you easily commute to work? Are friends and family nearby? Are there green spaces to enjoy and good transport links? Consider schools, shops, restaurants and other local amenities that matter to you. If you have your heart set on a specific postcode or street, visit at different times of the day to get a true feel for the neighbourhood.

Is there room to grow?
Once you've found the right family home in the perfect location, think about whether it truly meets your needs – now and in the future. Is there room for your family to grow? Can you see yourself living there in five years? If the answer’s yes, it’s worth acting quickly before someone else does. The great thing about a new Charles Church home is that you can reserve it with a modest reservation fee.
