Over-55 bungalows to rent

In short: Bungalows are scarce in London, so many over-55s look at ground-floor flats, sheltered and retirement rental schemes, or housing association homes reserved for older people. Councils' housing registers and associations' own lists advertise age-restricted homes. Private bungalows to rent are more common outside London. Check accessibility features, alarm or warden services, service charges and transport links. Fraser Bond can help with private rentals.
