The Unburdened Home
Calm, practical help for later life, from downsizing and moving to home technology, scams and family matters.
Later life brings its own practical questions. How do you clear a family home without a fight? What do your children actually want to keep? Which router can you set up yourself, and what tech makes a good present for a grandchild? How do you spot a scam call before it costs you anything?
Here you'll find calm, step-by-step guides to these everyday questions, in plain language and at your own pace. Each guide is the written version of one of our videos, with a checklist you can print and sources for the facts it relies on.
What we cover
- Downsizing, sorting and moving house
- Family conversations about belongings and keepsakes
- Home technology made simple, and good tech gifts for grandchildren
- Staying safe from scams, online and on the phone
Our guides are general help, not legal, tax or financial advice. For those questions, please speak to a qualified adviser where you live.
