We take the worry out of moving home in later life by providing information, expert advice and practical support alongside empathy, expertise, pragmatism and some smiles to older homeowners and their families.
We understand that moves in later life are a unique combination of emotional, logistical, financial and practical considerations and work with you so that you can make informed decisions that are right for your circumstances.
Think of us like a professional extension of your family. Whether you are just looking for some advice, want one of our tailormade reviews packed with information and advice based on your circumstances, or are ready to make a move we are here to support you - every step of the way.
For some clients, moving to a new home - perhaps in a more favourable location, with a more suitable layout, or with support closer to hand - results in an improved quality of life. For others, making amendments to the current home - whilst also getting information and advice so they can prepare for a potential move in the future - is what's best.
We also support families selling a home once a loved one has moved into long-term care or has passed away.
We are proud to be affiliated with The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA) and always act with honesty and integrity, adhering to our codes of conduct.
Many of our clients have lived in their current home for over 30 years. They have a sense that they may need to start considering a move but don't know where to start and don't want to feel pressurised.
Our Future Planning service gives you the opportunity to chat things through with someone impartial and knowledgeable without pressure. We then provide practical and considered information and advice based on your individual circumstances so that you can remain in control of your current and future chapters - whether that's deciding to stay in your current home or making a move. It's designed to be empowering and practical.
Our Moving Manager service is available to clients and their families who are planning a move and would value empathetic, practical and expert support throughout the process.
Think of us like a professional extension of your family or 'The CEO of your move' as one client recently described us. You benefit from our professional expertise - having overseen thousands of property sales - combined with our unwavering focus to make sure your best interests - and your voice - are always front and centre.
Our Estate Agency service is designed around you and your circumstances. It includes deciding how best to present your home, marketing it, conducting viewings and negotiating offers, as well as assisting with the practical aspects of moving home such as support with the legal paperwork and liasing with all stakeholders. We have a network of partners who can help you with everything from financial and legal advice to decluttering and packing on moving day.We take the time to talk everything through with you so that you are always informed and in control - no jargon, no sales speak and no being passed from pillar to post.
Where do I start? What are my options? How can I stay in control? What's the process? Do I need to do anything to my home to make it ready for sale? What if I don't want to move right now? What options are available for a new home? These are the kind of questions we help you answer.
Considering a move in later life can often involve family members or representatives. Some family members are far away and often juggling their own homes and careers. Our ways of working ensure everyone is kept updated and involved in a way that works for them (with our clients permission or with relevant attorney powers).
A home is a significant asset and plays a fundamental part of financial planning and estate planning in later life. We work with financial advisors and private client solicitors to offer a holistic service to clients. We are a SOLLA affiliate and follow guidance from Solicitors for the Elderly.
Moving into a care home is often at a point of crisis. We provide timely, empathetic, practical and solutions-based advice to clients and their families when they need to sell a home because of a move into a care home.
Often it is the idea of leaving the current home that clients most struggle with - emotionally, practically and logistically - when considering a move into a later living home. We work with later living home providers to offer a complete moving solution focused on making lives better.
There are many organisations - both NFPs and For Profits - working with those in later life. From equity release companies to home care providers and organisations like The Centre for Ageing Better. We value being part of this sector and believe that by working collaboratively together we can make lives better.
