Oh Joy – how to find a happy place in Wembley

Oh Joy – how to find a happy place in Wembley

In this Fast Thursday 90-second read we share eight things you can do to add a bit more joy into your life and your home.

The past three months have been a challenging period for all of us.

With soaring levels of anxiety, uncertainty, and loneliness, it feels as if a lot of joy has been sucked out of our lives.

The good news is there are some simple things we can do to put a fresh spring into our steps and improve the way our homes feel.

Try these ideas.

For you:
Get a good night’s sleep – see the bedroom tip below.
Ditch the tech – switch off your devices for a day and feel the difference it makes.
Drink more water – being dehydrated can negatively affect your mood.
Give back to your community – studies have shown volunteering increases feel-good endorphins.

For your home:
Do some spring cleaning – you’ll feel better for it.
Create an ‘around the home’ to-do list – research has shown that ticking off tasks makes us happier.
Organise your bedroom – A clutter-free space leads to better sleep.
Make your bed – An easy way to bring daily order to your life (unless you have teenagers!).
As with many things in life, it’s often the little things which make the biggest difference.

At Grey & Co. we’re confident happier times are on the way, and we remain here to help our community and clients.

Thanks for reading.

It’s no secret that the younger generation in Wembley is finding it tough to get onto the property ladder. With the rising cost of living, stagnating wages, and stricter mortgage criteria, it's no surprise that fewer under-34s are becoming homeowners.

With PM Keir Starmer warning it would be painful, the new government’s first Budget has been hotly awaited for some weeks now. In this article, we’ll look at what the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, announced – paying specific attention to what will affect the property market.

PM Keir Starmer has already issued a warning that next week’s Budget will be painful… to help fill a ‘£22 billion black hole’ of debt. So, could this Budget be painful for homeowners? In this article, we’ll take a look at what Chancellor Rachel Reeves might be planning.

If you’ve ever considered selling your Wembley home, you may have felt the temptation to list it at a higher price, hoping for a bigger payday. After all, who wouldn’t want to maximise the return on their largest tax-free investment?
