Finding the right community for you
If you are approaching retirement, or already enjoying it, then you may wish to consider a move to a property in a community that fits around the lifestyle you want in later life.
This might involve being closer to your nearest and dearest, or living in an active and sociable community of like-minded individuals. Searching for the community that ticks all your boxes might appear daunting initially, but we are positive that your perfect community awaits.
For those of you in search of the right community, we understand careful consideration is required to maximise enjoyment of your new home. So, to lend a helping hand, we have compiled a round-up of the top four priorities to help you in your search.
A warm welcome
When taking the first steps in your search, you may choose to visit new home developments and research the communities that surround them. A key aspect to look out for in this stage is how you feel when visiting the development, and importantly, how the staff make you feel. Did you receive a warm welcome? Do you feel that any questions you have were answered? It is essential that you receive satisfactory answers to your queries, so that you can progress your property pursuit smoothly.
Can you envisage yourself living here? Your ideal community will excite you and send you daydreaming about inviting family and friends around to visit. It will be the sort of place you are excited to come home to.
Location and lifestyle
The situation of your new home is of the utmost importance as you will be likely to spend a lot of your time there. We recommend jotting down a list of your desirable location, nearby amenities and priorities and that way when you are viewing developments, you are less likely to settle for anything less than your perfect community. Whether that is being close to a supermarket, within walking distance of a café, or being able to see the sea from your doorstep. It is paramount that the location you pick meets your lifestyle requirements in order to live a happy and fulfilled life in your new home.
Thorough research will shed light on the lifestyle you can expect in your chosen location, from access to social clubs to popping to the local produce markets in your nearby villages, this will help you get a clear picture of whether or not the community is for you.
Helpful services and staff
Later life is a fantastic opportunity to take more time for yourself, and therefore your forever home should be situated near to amenities that allow you to enjoy a fun and fulfilling retirement. Look for a community that nurtures your passions and interests and lets you live later life without the hassle of the demands of home maintenance chores. Ideally, with the option of helpful staff to provide support with general upkeep of communal areas such as mowing the lawn or taking care of your external property maintenance.
Security is another important factor to take into account, particularly if plan to travel or take trips away, it is vital that you feel completely safe in the knowledge your home is secure. With helpful staff on hand, you will be able to rest in comfort, knowing that all properties in the development are looked after both aesthetically and practically.
So whilst on your search, be sure to look out for property developers that go the extra mile to ensure your comfort and security.
Residential scale and exclusivity
If a new-build property is what you are looking for, then ask yourself what sort of scale development would be best suited to you? Residential communities come in all shapes and sizes with small scale developments offering a more intimate feel and large-scale sites having a more energetic buzz, which is often appealing for those with younger families.
You are bound to come across a variety of new-build residential developments – some age-exclusive and some not. Age-exclusive residential properties are designed to match the varied needs of retirees. This guarantees a community of like-minded individuals and ensures your changing requirements are at the forefront of the purpose and approach of the site.
Your happiness is paramount so find a community that is perfectly suited to your needs; after all this will be your community for your forever home. Whether you are searching for a new home in the coast or countryside, be sure to have an idea in mind about your ideal community and do not waiver from your personal priorities. Before you know it, you could be leading the life you have always dreamed of in retirement.
