Moving Home in later life

At this time in your life you may be thinking of moving home, whether to that house in the country, a place abroad, the cottage by the sea, or a smaller home. Or depending on the stage in later life a relative has reached, you may be considering sheltered accommodation or a nursing home. We can help you find the appropriate site for more information and contacts.

You might find our Guide to retirement Villages of interest or if you are thinking of moving abroad then take a look at our Guide to moving abroad.

If you are moving, you may decide to let your existing property. Like anything related to property it's location and demand that matter. We have seen rental prices vary by as much as 40% for a property of the same sale value in different locations. Check out the demand with a specialist letting agent before you commit yourself. ARLA - The Association of Residential Letting Agents - below can provide information and details of Agents who specialise in letting

Of course you may not be thinking of moving at all, and instead might want to do a spot of redecorating to brighten up your home. Check out the Redecorating page for links to the information you'll need. Also very useful once you've moved into your new home. If you don't want to do the decorating yourself then take a look at our Home and Garden Handyman service section.
