As retirees plan for 2025, many are opting for a ‘lock-up-and-leave’ lifestyle by renting in retirement communities, which makes it easy to travel the world without the worry of leaving an empty home behind. My Future Living, the UK’s leading retirement rental brand, highlights the growing appeal of this flexible and secure housing solution for adventure seeking retirees.
New research by Booking.com[i] reveals the top 10 bucket-list destinations for Brits over 65 years old, with New Zealand (24%), Japan (21%), and Australia (20%) topping the list. Notably, over half (56%) of respondents are keen to challenge the stereotype that global travel is for the young, and 27% report a newfound passion for exploration as they age.
Joanne Couch, Managing Director at My Future Living, said: “Renting in a retirement development offers the perfect mix of freedom and security. Retirees can travel knowing their home is safe, and enjoy long-term tenancies that provide a stable base to return to after their adventures. Whether it’s visiting family abroad, ticking off bucket-list destinations, or simply embracing a more flexible lifestyle, renting makes it all possible.”
My Future Living properties are designed to provide both independence and peace of mind. Many developments feature communal lounges and organise social activities, such as coffee mornings and local outings. Most properties also include a 24-hour careline and an onsite manager, ensuring added security for those venturing on extended trips.
Unlike private sector rentals, My Future Living offers lifetime assured tenancies, giving retirees the stability of a permanent home without the hassle of property upkeep or the uncertainty of short-term arrangements. This unique combination makes renting in a retirement community an ideal choice for those planning new adventures in 2025.
