At DB Roberts, we’ve spent over 60 years acting as local property matchmakers. We’ve seen it all, and we know that sometimes, you simply realise you’ve fallen out of love with where you live.

The "Seven Year Itch": Signs You’ve Outgrown Each Other

In the beginning, it was perfect. You loved the cosy kitchen and that quirky spare room. But lately, things have felt a bit strained. If you’re experiencing any of these "relationship" red flags with your home, it might be time for a fresh start:

The Office/Kitchen Table Struggle: If your "home office" is actually just a laptop squeezed onto the corner of the dining table, the spark is officially gone. In 2026, hybrid working is the standard, and you deserve a dedicated space that works for you.

The Garden "Chore" Phase: What used to be a sanctuary now feels like a second job. If you’re spending more time battling weeds than enjoying the sunshine, you might be dreaming of a more manageable outdoor space or a smaller "lock up and leave" plot.

The Storage Standoff: Are your cupboards bursting? Are you parking on the street because the garage is full of "stuff"? A lack of storage is the number one reason people decide to move on.

Finding "The One": February’s New Candidates

If you’re thinking about playing the field, there’s no better time than now. February is traditionally the month when the highest-quality new "candidates" (listings) hit the market as people prepare for the spring rush.

At DB Roberts, our 7 offices in Shrewsbury, Telford, Stafford and Wolverhampton are currently seeing a surge of fresh properties. These aren't just houses; they are potential new soulmates.
