Many people find that, when it comes time to retire and they have finished worked, paid off their debts, written their will with the help of IWC Probate Services, and had a good long think, they want a change of life. They want to move somewhere that suits them better, where they are not tired to a job or have any commitments; for the first time in a long time, finances allowing, these people can do the things they have always wanted to do, where they want to do them.
For some, this will be on Jersey. Here are some of the reasons why retiring to Jersey is a good idea.
Nature
If you are a nature lover there are many places as inspiring as Jersey; here you will find something for every taste. Take the 48.5 miles of beautiful coastline to begin with – the beaches are gorgeous and whether you’re looking for a quiet place to sit or somewhere to enjoy some water sports and activities, you will have your pick; there are over 25 beaches and bays to choose from. The countryside is just as magnificent. Since there is an island wide speed limit of 40 miles per hour, driving along the leafy lanes becomes a pleasure, not a chore, or why not don a pair of walking boots and explore by foot? There are also some picturesque woodland areas where you can see the native red squirrel, bats, and plenty of other wildlife.
A good lifestyle
The pace on Jersey is much more laid back than it is on the mainland, offering you the chance to really make the most of your retirement. You can drive, walk, cycle, or take public transport to every spot on the island – most commutes take less than 30 minutes (even in peak time).
There are also lots of restaurants and cafes, and plenty of past times to get involved with, meaning that your retirement can be as full and exciting or as peaceful and calm as you choose.
Easy to get to
Jersey is much easier to move to than anywhere else in Europe or further afield. Plus, it is close to the mainland, meaning that should you want to return to visit family and friends (or if you want them to visit you) the task is an easy one.
