At Shelter Offshore our own history tells us that January is by far THE most popular month bar none for people to begin their intensive research into starting a new life abroad. Enquiries shoot up as people, disillusioned with their lives after Christmas and New Year celebrations perhaps, decide that actually, enough is enough and it’s time to explore pastures new!
Among the enquiries we receive for information and advice about anything and everything from working abroad, saving offshore, schooling children internationally or buying a home overseas, are many from those who are planning their new life abroad in retirement…
We have always sought to serve our readers who’re actively thinking about retiring away from their home nation through the provision of targeted and relevant content and support – but it seems that demand is actually intensifying and growing as increasing numbers of baby boomers are getting very excited about their options of an international lifestyle in retirement, and so now you can retire abroad with Shelter Offshore’s brand new, totally dedicated and focused, overseas retirement channel.
The channel went live over the Christmas and New Year period and we have a plan in place to pack it out with totally relevant and essential advice for anyone thinking about starting a new life abroad in retirement. It’s certainly a section to bookmark and refer back to as you broaden the depth of your research into your own move overseas. We will aim to feature at least weekly content updates bringing you news, features, reports and practical assistance.
What’s more, the retirement abroad channel is now fully supported by our dedicated service for those who’re looking at their finances ahead of a move or following a relocation overseas. Whether you want to make more of your UK based pension through a Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS) and avoid the requirement to turn most of your retirement savings into an annuity, or you want an international solution for the management and enhancement of your wealth, we’re on hand to assist. We can work with you to decide the best paths for you to take, and then even match you to an adviser in your location who can help for example.
We’re taking Shelter Offshore to a new level with the introduction of the retirement abroad channel – because we want to help as many people as we can to realise their dreams of a new life abroad, no matter at what stage in life they are at. So, if you’re approaching retirement, you’re taking early retirement or you just want to learn more about the realities of retiring abroad, trust us to assist you. Finally, we always welcome feedback from our readers, therefore if there’s any specific content you would like to see posted on Shelter Offshore, please get in touch, or if we can specifically assist you with your relocation abroad in some way, check out our ‘Expatriate Financial Services’ section.
