An Active Retirement
It used to be the case that most people ‘stayed put’ when they retired. They’d give up work, grow veggies on the allotment or concentrate on the garden, and live out the majority of their retirement years in the family home. But attitudes are changing as we come to expect more from our retirement and our general health improves allowing us to travel more and do more.
It’s not unheard of for people in their 70s or beyond to embark on a major new project such as building their own house or going off to travel the world – and why not! The growth in the market for travel, leisure and property within the ‘silver sector’ is surely something to be celebrated. Our society is undergoing a sea change in attitude; no longer do we see retirement as a long period of rest, instead we look at it as a time when dreams can be fulfilled and – after the demands of a career and family – both couples and singles can indulge in well earned ‘me’ time.
Such big plans are not for the faint hearted as they often require a complete upheaval in terms of financial and/or living arrangements. If money is needed to finance these plans – as is usually the case – decisions need to be taken about how that finance can be made available. With final salary pensions only for the fortunate few, most people find themselves in a position where they need to make a choice about how they fund their retirement dreams. For some, this will mean selling their existing property so that they can free up capital by downsizing or moving into rented accommodation.
In a slow property market achieving that sale can be elusive, putting the retirement plans on hold. Some people find themselves caught in a chain where nothing seems to move, while others are let down at the last moment by a buyer pulling out further down the chain causing the sale to collapse.
Property Rescue’s guaranteed quick house sale spells an end to broken chains, disappointed sellers and failure to sell. Property Rescue guarantees to make an offer for your property – that’s any type of property in any location and any state of decoration or repair. The process is quick, simple and straightforward and will save money on the costs that would be incurred if the house was to be sold on the open market; for example, sellers don’t need to prepare a Home Information Pack and they won’t pay an estate agent for finding a buyer.
For more information on how to sell up quickly and realise your long-held dreams, give Property Rescue a call in complete confidence. There is no obligation to proceed and no pressure will be put on you if you feel their offer isn’t what you want.
