Four Minutes with Jane Slade, the founder of www.retiremove.co.uk home and lifestyle website for the over 50s

What was the vision behind the website?
My vision was to create a website to help cut a swathe through some of the psychological problems older people face, such as loneliness, disability and finding love in later life. But also for people who want to grow old disgracefully and to discover that ageing is not all downhill; the Mick Jagger generation is now 70 plus and there are all those baby boomers who want a different retirement from their parents.

What makes retiremove.co.uk, different to other retirement sites?
 The website is updated daily so users are the first to know about new property launches, exclusive deals and analysis from industry experts. We employ top-flight journalists and experts to provide up-to-the-minute information, exclusive tips and lots more photographic imagery than newspapers and magazines can provide. As well as property issues a wide spectrum of lifestyle issues are also featured including finance, gardening, health, travel and technology – not to mention a What´s On page of upcoming events and free ticket offers.
What is your personal favourite section of the website?
I love the celebrity interviews as it is great to find out what our much loved famous faces are planning for later on in life and inspirational stories, giving us the get up and go to follow in their footsteps! My husband however, is obsessed with the technology side of the website and enjoys both writing reviews and trying out the latest gadgets for the silver surfer generation.
What do you think makes the ideal retirement property/location? 
It really depends on what you want from your retirement. This is the beauty of Retiremove.co.uk; we explore a number of different options such as retirement villages across the UK to Italian fractional ownership and golf resorts in the Caribbean – also offering inspirational stories from retirees themselves from all walks of life that have made the move!
