	&lt;a href="/" target="_blank"&gt;North Wales estate agent Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents&lt;/a&gt; offers advice to the increasing number of grandparents choosing to move closer to their grown-up children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	Dafydd Hardy, company director of Dafydd Hardy Chartered Surveyors and Estate Agents, says he has seen a rise in the number of older people choosing to move closer to their children so they can help bring-up grandchildren. But the North Wales estate agent warns the move can be very emotional as it often means leaving an established family-home and well-loved area.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
	One of the explanations Dafydd suggests for the trend is that many grandparents now remain very active throughout their sixties and seventies.&lt;/p&gt;
