Enjoy an active and sociable retirement
Churchill developments like William Lodge in Malmesbury and St Andrew’s Lodge in Chippenham offer an independent lifestyle in an apartment where any external maintenance is covered by an annual service charge. With energy costs on the rise, it makes sense to live in a well-insulated property with energy efficient appliances, fixtures and fittings, all of which adds up to a lower carbon footprint and lower energy bills for you.
For a taster of what a Churchill development is like, why not attend one of the regular social events that take place in their warm and friendly Owners’ Lounge? These provide a chance for you to meet the Churchill team, ask all your practical questions, and have a good look at the apartments and lifestyle available. You’ll also meet other apartment owners and hear their honest views about the lifestyle they’re already enjoying. Most will tell you they wish they'd done it sooner!
With your own front door you’ll have privacy when you want it, with friendship and a sense of community close at hand whenever you choose to spend time socialising in the Owners’ Lounge. There’s always something to get involved in, or someone to chat to over a cuppa, and there’s no pressure. You’re free to get involved as much or as little as you wish. If the thought of downsizing feels overwhelming don’t worry, Churchill can offer a helping hand every step of the way. Its range of moving packages and specially tailored services include a Home Exchange service, advice on downsizing, free removals service, and assistance with selling your old property, plus a contribution towards estate agent and legal fees. A specialist Moving Co-ordinator can even provide practical support with sorting and packing your old possessions or help you to settle in on moving day.

DIVORCE LAW IS CHANGING
Jeremy Tier, a Partner in Wansbroughs’ Family team, explains more about the new no-fault divorce law coming in on 6 April 2022.
As things stand, any individual wishing to petition for divorce must be prepared to attribute blame for the breakdown of their marriage unless they have been separated for two years or more. For many couples this is not appropriate and it will often act as a source of great animosity.
The Government has finally agreed to introduce a no-fault divorce petition on 6 April 2022. The key features are: • The existing 5 ‘facts’ are being replaced with a singular requirement to provide a statement of irretrievable breakdown within the relationship • The divorce can no longer be contested by the Respondent • A joint application can be brought by both parties • A minimum waiting time of 20 weeks between submission of the petition and the proceedings has been introduced, to prevent applications made in haste
Our team of Family Law experts are happy to offer individuals considering a no-fault divorce petition a complimentary 30-minute consultation. We will always take the time to listen and understand your goals. We offer a highly personalised service and have a long-standing reputation for delivering results, something which helps us stand out from the local competition.
To find out more please email family@wansbroughs.com or call 01380 733300.
