The New Homes & Retirement Living Show
All the experts.
One destination.
The New Homes & Retirement Living Show 2026, in association with MoveTo Residential. An advice-led property exhibition for buyers planning their next move.
Sandown Park, Esher | 19–20 September 2026.
Free to attend. Limited places. Issued first-come, first-served.
One day. Every expert you need to talk to.
By the time a move like this starts to feel real, the questions become far more personal than anything a quick Google search can answer. The show is structured around that point. Every expert you’d otherwise be chasing for weeks is in one room, ready to talk through where you actually are.
Informed conversations
Every exhibitor is here to advise rather than sell. Bring your questions, your plans, whatever shortlist you’ve built. The format is set up for the conversation, not for picking up a brochure and moving on.
All the experts under one roof
Developers, mortgage advisers, retirement living specialists, and independent legal experts. The full set of professionals a serious move involves, without weeks of separate calls and appointments.
Answers you won’t find online
An online property portal can show you what homes are listed. It can't talk you through what equity release, school catchments, or a developer's spec look like for someone in your position. Those answers come from people.
Time with people who do this every day
The advisers in the room work across your region and do this full-time. That’s why a 20-minute conversation here can save the three weeks of separate calls it would otherwise take to get the same clarity.
An event from a trusted regional publisher.
MoveTo Residential reaches more than 200,000 homeowners across 14 areas of Surrey, Hampshire, West Sussex, South London, and Berkshire every fortnight.
This show is what happens when that audience meets the experts in person. It’s built for the same readers, the same regions, and to the same standard.
What you'll find at the NH&RL Show.
A single day, set up around the decisions you’re already weighing.
Who you'll meet
The developers building across the region, alongside the mortgage advisers, financial planners, property solicitors, and retirement living specialists.
One day, one venue
Everything in a single visit to Sandown Park, Esher.
No diary juggling, no chasing appointments, no calls that get rescheduled before they happen.
Expert talks
Sessions across both days on the mortgage market, equity release, the new-build buying process, and the legal and financial layers behind any major move.
Built for your next move.
Whatever stage you’re at, the show is structured around the decisions you’re making.
Buying your first home
The Lifetime ISA, Shared Ownership, the First Homes scheme, and the Mortgage Guarantee scheme are still the routes most first-time buyers take, but only when the numbers work. That’s where most people get stuck. The mortgage advisers in the room have walked through it hundreds of times.
Downsizing your home
Releasing equity, simplifying your life by moving into something more manageable, or moving closer to family? The financial advisers on the day can show you what each one would mean against your own position, rather than a generic example.
For most growing families, the hard part isn’t finding a bigger house. It’s finding the right one in a catchment that hasn’t tightened since you started looking, with a developer whose handover dates you actually trust. Walk between the developers who are building and ask them directly.
Moving for more space
Purpose-built communities, assisted living, and the legal and financial planning that goes with a major move have changed considerably in the last decade. The retirement living specialists, property solicitors, and advisers exhibiting do this every day.
Planning for later life
The show at Sandown Park.
The venue itself is one of the South East’s best-known event spaces, with parking for over 1,000 cars and step-free access throughout.

It’s the natural meeting point for the audience the show is built for.
Limited places. Free to attend.
