it's a joy to be able to connect with people early in their 'rightsizing' journey and talk about the simple ways you can get started. Annette spent this morning talking to a full room of people courtesy of Keyton Retirement Living's VerSo Place team.

Whilst this exceptional build is not scheduled for completion until 2028, it's absolutely the right time to get prepared and to plan for a move to retirement living.

Talk to us about how you can get started with your plan. Call our team on 1300 738 035.

We are very proud to partner with Vinnies and contribute over $250,000 in valued donations and referrals over the last few years to help fund support for people experiencing hardship.

As part of the wider Abbeys Group, we support individuals and families during times of profound change — whether navigating the loss of a loved one, downsizing into retirement living, relocating, or closing a significant chapter of life.
When goods are not suitable for auction, donation becomes the next meaningful pathway. It’s a practical expression of our sustainability commitment and a tangible way to strengthen community connections. Thanks again, Vinnies. We look forward to the next 5 years of partnership!

Wednesday saw our team visiting Keyton Retirement Living's gorgeous Ardency Kennedy Place, the former site of Channel 9 in Richmond.

Once again, Annette was on hand to talk "rightsizing" into retirement living and provide insights into the sorts of things that are selling at Abbeys Auctions, and Luke Schickerling of Jellis Craig Stonnington, Richmond & Surrounds provided fantastic insights into choosing the right time, the right price and the right agent when looking to move.

Many thanks to the wonderful Lincoln, Amellia and Suzanne for inviting us to speak, and for the lovely lunch. If you haven't been to view the facilities and apartments at Ardency, they are well worth a visit.

This week our team visited Keyton Retirement Living's Abervale, based in Grovedale, just out of Geelong. Annette provided the attendees with her top tips for "rightsizing" into retirement living. The tip that most resonated with guests was about tackling the wardrobe first, not sorting through photo albums!

Many thanks to Peta, Mary, Karli and the whole team at Abervale for making us feel so welcome. We thoroughly enjoy passing on our tips for rightsizing and helping make the transition to retirement living less overwhelming and more exciting!

From our family to yours, everyone at the Abbeys Group wishes you a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe festive season.

Our team is available over this period (with the exception of the main public holidays) for consultations or simply to answer any questions you may have about decluttering, downsizing or relocating.

In the meantime don't forget one of our top tips: the one in, one out policy! That means for every new present entering the house - one should leave the house. Get those bags ready for charity or recycling!
