Finding a Home With Good Feng Shui

Tips for House Moving

Why should you be interested in the feng shui of a house when you're searching for a new home ? Well it's the one time when you have the opportunity to make some pretty major improvements to the influences around you.
In theory, you can buy any old house, get the builders in and change the feng shui. But are you willing to move the door, rebuild the back wall, move the drive, or even relocate the bathroom for that matter ?
In practice, most people exchange contracts on the one they're selling, the one they're buying and move in, all on the same day. So even if the money and motivation are there, there usually isn't time – so what you buy in terms of the feng shui is usually what you move in to.
Therefore it makes sense to do what you can to assess the feng shui beforehand, along with the beautiful garden, rising damp, brand new kitchen, number of bedrooms, proximity to good schools etc.
How do you go about that ?
Patterns of influence get “passed along” from one set of occupants to the next.
So if you can find out how the previous occupants got on whilst living there, you've got a fair idea of what's in store for you.
Let me give you a couple of examples of influences getting “passed along”.
In one house I know about, the vendors daughter, who had lived there since she was two, was doing exceptionally well in school – on track for entering Oxford or Cambridge University by her early teens. The purchasers children, who were in their early teens when they moved in, both went on to get First Class Honours Degrees.
In another house, couple after couple moved in and then split up whilst living there. That kind of house is fine if you're single and planning to stay that way (it will actually help you do so), but if you're happily married with a family, you might want to look elsewhere if you come across one like that.
If you're in any doubt about the feng shui of a house, it makes sense to keep searching for a better one. But if you've really got your heart set on a house with suspect feng shui, it also makes sense to ask a feng shui professional to take a look at it and advise you on whether it can be changed and what would be needed to do so, just as you would ask a professional if the roof line was sagging or you were worried about the rising damp.
