WHY DOWNSIZE YOUR HOME?

If you’re reading this, you probably already know some of the reasons that
downsizing might be right for you. Some people buy a smaller home because the
want the easy maintenance. Others want to be nearer to family or closer to a
town centre for convenience.

For some, downsizing home might not be about their house at all. It could be
that they are ready to let go of the demands of a large and rambling garden and
move to a modern home of the same size but with a more manageable outdoor space.

You might even be dreaming of selling your current home, downsizing to a smaller
home and then spending the equity from your current home on travel!

Many of the benefits of buying a new-build home, like security, energy
efficiency and being part of a new community of likeminded people are
particularly relevant for downsizers.

Downsizing isn’t always an easy decision – you might feel like there are some
advantages to the extra space or have fond memories of your family home.
However, many people do weigh these things up against the advantages and decide
the decision to downsize is worthwhile.

There are a few things to consider before finally making the leap.


LIFESTYLE CHANGES

If you decide to move a new area, will you have everything you need to continue
to live a fulfilled life. How often would you like to visit any friends and
family in the area you’re leaving and how practical will this be? It’s also
important to consider whether there any clubs or societies that you might want
to attend that will help you integrate your new community. Equally, if there are
any hobbies that are important to you, it’s important to check whether you’ll
still be able to pursue these when you move.




HOW MUCH SPACE DO YOU NEED?

For many people, the fact that downsizing involves moving to a smaller space is
one of its key appeals, meaning less work to maintain the home and garden, as
well as reduced upkeep costs. Despite this, it’s still worth thinking carefully
about how much space you’ll require in your new home, whether that’s to maintain
a hobby or allow friends and family to visit. At Cala, one of the ways we help
with this is by designing properties with storage in mind, so that you’ll find
yourself with a surprising amount of storage space.




WHY BUY NEW WHEN DOWNSIZING?

When it comes to downsizing, there’s a good chance that buying new will hold
some appeal. Some customers tell us they chose to buy new because it offers
greater peace of mind thanks to our 10 Year NHBC Buildmark Warranty, while
others appreciate their new home is energy-efficient and low maintenance. Here
are some top reasons to buy new when downsizing.


REDUCED DIY/MAINTENANCE

If you are downsizing to escape from the upkeep of a larger property, the
reduced maintenance involved with a new home is a key benefit.


ENERGY EFFICIENT

If you want to free up finances by downsizing, the chance to cut energy bills,
alongside general house maintenance costs, should particularly appeal.


MODERN DESIGN

At Cala, we ensure that our properties are designed to make the most of their
space so that you have the storage you need and a home that works for you.


SPEED OF TRANSACTION

If you are looking to make a swift purchase, our selection of build complete
homes are ready and waiting for you. By choosing one of our Ready for You homes,
you could complete your purchase in as little as 4 weeks.

Low maintenance and desirable homes that suit you


WHEN YOU’RE READY TO BUY YOUR NEW HOME, CALA CAN HELP

At Cala, we’re on hand to provide all the information and support you need ahead
of your big move to make downsizing as stress-free as possible. This includes

a modern new home that is just the right size for you.

existing property and pay the agent fees in the process.

Understanding Stamp Duty


WHY BUY NEW

There’s nothing quite like moving into a brand-new home. From newly-installed
kitchens and bathrooms to the peace of mind of knowing that your property is
safe, energy efficient and low maintenance. What’s more, you’re buying a
complete blank canvas on which to stamp your own individual style.

Why buying new makes sense

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
 1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its
    family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
 2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as
    light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color
    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
    options.
 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.
 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
    Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
