THE ULTIMATE DOWNSIZING CHECKLIST FOR RETIREMENT

Seniors Downsizing Home Checklist

The team at Wise Up NZ offers expert advice on a whole range of housing topics and downsizing into a retirement home is no exception.

Our Downsizing Checklist

Our downsizing checklist has been created especially for Senior Citizens and their families. It centralises the most reputable information from Government organisations, the Law Society, and a number of other bodies to help you safely navigate the process of downsizing to a retirement village.

We’ve found that transitioning into a retirement home can be a more difficult experience than most families expect, largely because very few people have prior experience with the process. It's never an easy exercise, but this checklist aims to make it as simple as possible.
