Congratulations! You are now married to the man or woman of your dreams. However, the question is, have you decided where to live? If not, then you surely need to carefully decide where you would be building your love nest and to help you with that, below are some things that you can consider.

Research the employment rate and average salary

Of course, as both of you are now ready to start your own family, there is a need for you to ensure that the place where you and your spouse would be living has a high employment rate. Also, check out its average salary and determine whether it would be enough to pay for your living expenses.  You need to ensure that your family can survive there including your future children. Both of you should live in a place that offers job opportunities related to your line of work or your expertise as well.  

Determine the cost of living

Even if both of you have a high-paying job, it would not be enough if the place you are planning to live in also has a high cost of living. Also, remember that your living expenses would double once you have children. So, before even deciding where to live, you and your spouse should first ask yourselves, can you afford to live there? If the answer is no for the place that you have in mind, then better look for another place.

Check out the place yourself

There is no better way for the both of you to decide where to live than checking out the place yourself. Check out the neighbourhood and the amenities that are available there. Would it be easy for you and your spouse to commute from there to your workplace? What about the neighbourhood? Can you possibly install your artificial lawn from your trusted supplier of artificial grass in Sydney like Australian Synthetic Lawns? Is it safe and quiet? Are the people living there friendly? Does it match your and your spouse’s lifestyle? Is it a great place to raise a child? Asking these simple questions would help you decide the place that would witness your love for each other. Also, as you are already there, might as well check the rules or laws in the area.

Communicate and compromise

Remember that you would not be living alone anymore and so, communicate with your spouse and know what they want in a home. Discuss what you would want your dream home to look like  Of course, you cannot expect that both of you would agree on everything and so, you should also learn how to compromise to make your marriage last. Also, it would be best if you have your list of priorities. Don’t forget to list on your to-do list finding cheap furniture removalists in Randwick for your moving needs.  

Apart from those things, you also might as well consider whether it is close to your family and friends. As you are a newlywed, there would surely be a lot of questions on your mind and a lot of challenges that you will face, especially during your early years as a married couple. During those times, for sure, your family and friends would be of great help to both of you.
