Downsizing Advice for Surrey, Berkshire & South West London.
Downsizing,
made simple
Sandown Park, Esher · 19–20 September 2026.
Free to attend. Limited places. Issued first-come, first-served.
Downsizing can feel like a big step, but it can also be an exciting and positive opportunity for a fresh start and a more flexible, low-maintenance lifestyle. Your next chapter can be made easier with the New Homes and Retirement Living (NH&RL) Show.
The NH&RL Show puts every trusted expert in one room, rather than leaving you to spend months coordinating multiple conversations with solicitors, mortgage advisers and estate agents.
Why downsizers choose the show
At the Show, we have everything you need in one place to help you make the right move smoothly and easily. You get face-to-face time with the trusted estate agents, mortgage advisers, legal specialists, and developers who know the market better than anyone.
Throughout the day, you can also attend talks on the property market across Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex, Berkshire and South West London, plus tax and estate planning and the downsizing process itself. Everything is under one roof, so you can leave with clarity, not more questions.
You’ll get the chance to speak to:
Developers and estate agents who can show you the new builds and properties best suited for your needs.
Independent financial advisers who can talk you through equity release, mortgage options, and how to make the most of the equity you've built up over the years.
Conveyancing specialists and solicitors who can explain exactly what a simultaneous sale and purchase involves and how to make it as straightforward as possible for you.
What to expect on the day
Instead of spending months researching, you can spend an afternoon getting all the information you need to make a more informed decision.
There's no rigid schedule to stick to and no pressure to speak to anyone you don't want to. Browse at your own pace, drop into a live expert talk, or head straight to the adviser you most want to speak to.
You won't just leave with a bag of brochures. You’ll leave with a real understanding of what the next steps look like for you and the confidence to take them. It’s about gaining clarity, reassurance, and a clearer vision of the lifestyle opportunities ahead.
Making your next move count
Right-sizing is about finding a home that genuinely fits your life as it is now, not as it was ten or twenty years ago. It might mean fewer rooms to heat and maintain, a more manageable garden, a better location, or simply releasing the equity you've built up to give you more financial freedom.
It's not about settling for less. It's about making a smarter, more considered move that works harder for you, so you spend less time looking after your home and more time enjoying it.
Is now the right time to downsize?
You’ve been in your current home for years. The children might have moved out, the garden feels bigger than it used to, but somewhere between researching the market and wondering whether now is the right time, it keeps getting pushed back.
Downsizing is a big decision, and it can be emotionally charged too. That's why it's important to take the time to understand your options. If you're planning your move in the next year and you want support making it simple, the NH&RL Show was built for you. It provides a supportive, advice-led environment to help you explore your options at your own pace, without pressure or sales focus.
The Show is for you if you’re…
Ready to right-size but not sure where to start
Juggling the timing of selling and buying simultaneously
Wanting honest advice rather than a sales pitch
Based in Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex, Berkshire, or South West London
