Retire to the South West
A NEW survey of 1,000 UK homeowners carried out by Bishop's Move has revealed that the South West is a hub for people looking to retire.
The respondents were asked what their main motivation for moving was, and 13 per cent in the South West said retirement, in comparison to eight per cent in the South East, four per cent in the North West and three per cent in East Anglia.

Other reasons people look to relocate in the South West include to resolve schooling matters (12 per cent), unlock equity in property (seven per cent), and climate matters (six per cent).
