I finally did move after 36 years at the same address in London! I've come back to my roots in Scotland & live in a lovely village just outside Edinburgh. I had decided that I didn't want to spend my retirement in what has become a ridiculously overcrowded city!
What a great decision it turned out to be! I love it here & although I do miss my daughter, who stayed in London, I get the best of both worlds, as I can go & visit her regularly ( well once this pesky virus is gone).
It's peaceful, and I have lovely neighbours all around me too.
I live five minutes away from my sister so we see each other most days, plus I live only ten minutes away from a small beach & even managed a swim in the sea yesterday evening!

I would have liked to move to Austria to access more efficient healthcare, to be able to move freely within EU countries and visit friends and family in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Russia.

I moved ONCE when I lived with my parents, that married an IT specialist, travelled all over the world, so bricks and mortar hold no sentimental attachment for me, friends, family and memories are all I need

To be somewhere peaceful and quiet would be so amazing, and not too far from the sea would be heaven.

We moved for a bigger house and garden when the children came along, had to have cows nearby because my son was besotted with them. Then we decided to look for a plot and build our own slightly smaller house, it took 15 years to find the right one and we will be ready to move in in the next couple of months. However it’s taken so long to sell up, get planning permission and build it through lockdown that the kids have now left home and its too big again! Looking for a nice view, decent neighbours and quiet area in the countryside

I'd only consider moving if my lovely neighbour sells up or otherwise (hes 84) Hes the perfect neighbour which means a huge amount, more than house size or garden plot size. Hes quiet. It would drive me nuts having a big family with lots of kids move next door

We moved to our forever home by the sea 2 years ago but could be tempted to build our own with a lottery win. One can but dream.

We have moved many times and all for different reasons but the overriding one was to downsize and realise some capital for our pensions. We’ve moved to be near the sea then back to London to be nearer the family. I miss and crave the sea so am looking to move back to the coast. Actually although we are nearer to family geographically, driving through the London traffic sometimes takes longer than driving up from the coast! Also, have realised life in retirement will be more expensive that we thought so we will need to free up some equity soon.

I have amazing neighbours all through my street who are also my friends, so I wouldn't move until they are all dead, unless I can buy the big house at the bottom of the road so I would still have them as street friends.

I currently live in a small Cornish cottage which s grade 2 listed, so it's very pretty, but suffers from damp, has limited storage and I can't do much to improve it. I would consider moving if for a larger property with a larger garden and larger windows to let more light in, but only when my neighbours have passed

I would like to move home to be closer to family, and also to upgrade the area we live in.

Would dearly love to move to a bungalow with a small garden. Our current home is too big for us to manage. Unfortunately owing to the current economic climate and housing market we have decided to wait until next.

We moved 5 years ago when we retired. We moved to the Lake District. Great move! We really love it and love the house we live in. Plenty of space and garden just the right size.

To a sunny place - we did. It gives us so much more 'useable' time.

I would like a house in a better area, near bus stops. One less bedroom would be fine but would not want the other rooms to be too small. Important to have a manageable garden but big enough to keep me fit (with room for the chickens)!

Would love to move to a different house, but the whole episode is daunting when alone.

The time is right to move now. I really think Britain has gone and there's nothing here for us now. Been think of moving abroad for years now, but it's always been the biggest problem of moving and that's money. We would need a few thousand behind us to move anywhere which we've not got...Fingers crossed lady luck will shine down on us.

Our last move was for the children's schooling. Our next move (soon) will be for retirement. We want a quieter pace of life away from a busy road in suburbia. We will move nearer to family, downsize and release some money to help our children.

Our big house and even bigger garden was taking all of our time. All of a sudden the house needed large jobs to be done.
We both retired and thought that we needed a new focus in our lives.
De cluttered, moved to a bungalow with a small garden nearer to our two sons.
We didn't miss the stuff that we had to get rid of and now planning a new garden to enjoy. No regrets at all!

I don’t have a choice about moving as I’m getting divorced after 30 years of marriage

Moved 20yrs. ago when boys flew the nest, to a 2 bedroomed cottage all on the flat with a private manageable garden. Best move ever with NO stairs.

We downsized last year for husband with parkinsons, stayed in the same area we love but less stairs here, and lovely garden, glad we did as don't think he would be well enough to go through all the upheaval of a house move now.

I have lived in the same London suburb for 40 years now, which is more than everywhere else put together. It has really good public transport links with central London (although perhaps not for use currently) and local travel is easy, with many useful venues in walking distance.

There are two major hospitals quite close should illness strike in my advancing years and a variety of local shops, both independent and large chain. Green space is readily accessible (including a sizeable back garden for these strange times), so I have almost all I could want close to hand, including the home where my 98 years old father-in-law currently lives.

I have no reason to move nor any desire to unless I were to win a very significant prize on the Lottery in which case I might think about trying to buy a plot locally (probably not easy to do) and build an architect-designed green-conscious house.

We moved from somewhere my husband’s family had lived for 7 generations! The reason was my husband’s slow decline with dementia so we moved round the corner from my son and family. One son and family live in Sydney and the one we have moved closer to is a doctor, so it was really no contest! However although we downsized in size, this is a much more expensive area so no additional cash in the bank! All the family are so supported, it was the best thing we’re done! Definitely no regrets!!

I would love to just pick my house up and move it away from the neighbours I have got at minute, They are renting and they have not got any respect for anyone I was kinda hoping they would move by now but it looks like I am going to have to put up with them a bit longer as she is expecting, So moving somewhere peaceful would be nice.

We moved to East Anglia (from Lincolnshire) 7 years ago when I retired - partly to be nearer my parents, both in their 90s, and because I would have been bored living in a small market town. We love it here - bought a house big enough to accommodate all the grandchildren, 10 mins from the beach, easy access to shops, frequent buses, beautiful parks ..... what's not to like? Maybe if we're still around in 10 years time we would consider down-sizing, but somehow I don't think we'll have the energy then!
