retirement

A traditionally built cottage or modern unit built to your specifications providing lower bills, manageability, and peace of mind in a secure location suited to you...

Are you looking for a smaller retirement home in the neighbourhood you know and love? Or maybe you need to be close to a caring son or daughter or grandchild?

By moving into an abode in your own garden you can release the equity of your current home or rent it out. That way you get to live in the same area in a cosy home you have designed yourself with the rental money from your property providing you with extra financial security.

Alternatively you can build an abode in the garden of a child or other relative. They are nearby to look after you and you can hand the grandchildren back when you want to! This is a good way to release the equity on your existing home, downsize and have a helping hand nearby without losing your independence.

Downsizing has many advantages such as:

Decreased costs	With a smaller home constructed to our high standards the running costs will be significantly lowered. Further in some cases abodes will not require council tax
Financial Freedom	Many of us have most of our value tied into the family home, by downsizing to abode we unlock that value and invest it elsewhere, alternatively rent out the main house and live in an abode with an additional income from the rent.
Fewer responsibilities	With an abode in a garden location you can lock the door and head off for a three-month cruise without the worries of an empty larger property.
More Manageable	As we get older two-storey larger homes can pose problems. A single storey abode is ideal for access and retirement living, we also have packages available to fit any specialist lifestyle equipment for disabled or elderly living.
More Secure	Abodes are built on garden plots close to a main residence allowing our owners the security of knowing help is close by without loss of independence or privacy.
A Great alternative	When we grow older and need a little more support abode4 can offer an alternative to the two typical options available to us: A retirement home, where we are left with no property of our own and the expensive ongoing fees for the home, which will erode our funds. Moving in with our children or another relative, which encroaches on the privacy of our relatives and us.
Your Design	Custom design your own place to your taste with the abode team. We have hundreds of different options to make sure your abode4 is right for you.
