Kingsmead Court is a small retirement development close to local shops and amenities. Janet has also discovered some nice gardens nearby where she likes to stroll, although Kingsmead Court has its own small communal garden too.<\/p>\n
Janet says there are many benefits of renting in retirement. She doesn\u2019t have to worry about any property upkeep or maintenance as this is included in the rent. The apartment is safe and secure, there is a house manager on site to check in on the residents, communal gardens and a communal laundry room. Financially it makes sense too as Janet can budget effectively every month as she knows her outgoings.<\/p>\n Janet is a published author and is currently busy writing an article about Wimborne\u2019s Minster for a local magazine and researching the history of smugglers in the area. She says that Wimborne has a fascinating history and is full of old smugglers tunnels.<\/p>\n Janet got into writing when she took early retirement from her job in the charity sector and needed to fill her time. She used to give talks for the local WI about Mrs Disraeli and they suggested she write a book about her, which was later published. Janet has a written several other biographies including one about Mrs Gladstone.<\/p>\n Janet says, \u201cI\u2019m very happy renting through Girlings,. They are fair and when I needed different accommodation they came forward with sensible suggestions.<\/p>\n \u201cI have an assured tenancy which means I can remain here for life if I choose and I don\u2019t have that awful fear of the landlord turning me out. I also find it reassuring that there\u2019s a very capable and caring manager at the development should I need any assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n Peter Girling, Chairman of Girlings Retirement Rentals says, \u201cRenting in a purpose-built retirement development particularly appeals to single people in later life. Many of our residents are widowed or on their own. They like the fact there is a ready-made community of people of a similar age and they can take part in social activities if they wish.<\/p>\n \u201cMany find it reassuring that all our apartments come with a 24 hour emergency call line\u00a0 in case of emergency, and renting also frees people from the worries of property and garden maintenance as this is all included in the monthly rent.\u201d www.girlings.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/newclone.retiremove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Janet-Hilderley.jpg\")
