Summary
With a rapidly ageing population representing the largest and fastest-growing group of homeowners in the UK, the conversation about making the right home move in later life has never been more important. Yet for many, the thought of leaving a home filled with decades of memories can feel overwhelming, and downsizing can come with many hidden challenges. In this episode, Sara and Lexie speak to Susan Gregory, founder of Turners Oak, about the hidden emotional and practical challenges of downsizing, or as Susan prefers to call it, “rightsizing”. Whether you're considering a move yourself, supporting a parent through the process, or simply curious about what later life housing really looks like, this conversation offers a compassionate, practical perspective on how to approach downsizing with curiosity, control and confidence. Have you or someone you know navigated downsizing? What surprised you most about the process?
