Relocating in retirement

Colourful retirement stories

Relocating in later life is something many people look forward to, but there’s plenty to consider when planning your retirement move.

From quaint English villages to secluded towns abroad, many retirees choose to pack up and relocate in retirement. We tell the stories of people who have done just that, and share their valuable insight into how they brought their plans to life – as well as the highs and lows of changing location in later life. If you’ve been putting off your relocation plans, retirement might be the perfect time to start planning your next big move.
