In Scotland, we are blessed with some of the best countryside in the British Isles, and demand for a life in the bucolic bliss of nature is ever-present. But before leaving behind the grey of the urban sprawl in favour of the green expanses of rural life, there’s a few things to consider in advance of making the move to the countryside...

Things to consider before moving to the countryside

Before buying a property in the countryside, you should be realistic about what your new life away from the big city or town will offer you. Sure, you can embark on outdoor adventures straight from your doorstep or simply enjoy the tranquil ambiance of your new surroundings. But can you live without the convenience that life in the city brings?

We suggest writing a list of things you can’t live without. Do you want to be close enough to family and friends for easy and frequent visits, do you need a wide choice of restaurants nearby, is the commute to work going to be easy? All important things to consider.

Are you enough of an outdoorsy type of person to thrive in the countryside? Consider exactly what it is you want from a move to the countryside... Whether that is a more spacious property, more peaceful surrounds or simply having nature as a neighbour.
