Over the weekend our homeowners Mrs Chapman at Audley Chalfont Dene and Mrs Leader at Audley Mote House were featured in a piece in The Daily Mail and This Is Money (note you'll need a paid subscription to read the articles on either website).
Their stories serve as a testament to the fact that downsizing is not a retreat, but a vital step toward a more fulfilling, connected lifestyle.
As our population ages, the need for specialist retirement villages that offer genuine choice and high-quality amenities has never been more pressing. By providing older generations with attractive, modern alternatives to the family home, we can ensure they enjoy a happy and social life, whilst helping movement within our housing sector.
Every time a homeowner like Mrs Chapman moves from a large manor into a vibrant retirement community, it sends a ripple effect through the market by freeing up essential family-sized homes for the next generation. We are not just building homes at Audley, we are helping to unlock a system that is currently stalled, making the property market work for everyone, regardless of age.
