We believe retirement should be a time to embrace freedom and truly enjoy your life on your own terms. That’s why, at Santhem Residences, we love to encourage a ‘lock up and leave’ lifestyle – a concept that offers you complete peace of mind and the freedom to live spontaneously!
If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, our previous article ‘What is Lock Up and Leave?‘ provides the perfect introduction. But today, we’re going a step further: highlighting how a lock up and leave retirement can unlock more time, more joy, and even more opportunities.
More Time for the Things You Love
One of the most rewarding aspects of the lock up and leave lifestyle has to be the extra time it gives you to focus on what really matters. At Santhem Residences, we take care of all external maintenance and security, meaning you don’t have to worry about property upkeep when you’re away – or even when you’re at home, for that matter.
This peace of mind allows you to make room for hobbies, socialising, or spontaneous adventures, and all the other moments that make life special.
Freedom to Travel with Confidence
Fancy some time away in the Cotswolds or perhaps a longer adventure abroad? The beauty of lock up and leave in retirement is that you can travel without hesitation. There’s no need to organise house sitters or stress about home security. Thanks to our 24/7 team on site, your apartment will be just as you left it – safe, sound, and well-looked after.
Retirement is the perfect time to explore the world and lock up and leave makes it easier than ever!
Lower Stress, Greater Wellbeing
More than mere conveniences, security and support are the key to our wellbeing. The lock up and leave lifestyle removes many of the common stresses associated with homeownership in later life. Instead of managing repairs or organising gardeners, you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of for you.
This low-maintenance way of living gives you great emotional and mental space to focus on self-care and social connection and allows you to enjoy life to the fullest. In short, it’s simply a healthier way to live.
A Community That Waits for You
When you’re not away on your latest adventure, you’ll find an incredible community waiting for you here at Santhem Residences. Our social calendar, on-site restaurant, and wellness facilities mean there’s always something to get involved in, so you’re ready to jump right back in wherever you left off.
Retirement with a lock up and leave lifestyle doesn’t mean being isolated – it means enjoying the best of both worlds. Time to travel and explore, paired with a warm and welcoming home base full of friendly faces.
