An elected Upper House should not be a retirement home for failed or time expired politicians.
Most MPs who are made peers have no track record of pioneering legislation, subject matter knowledge, or professional qualifications. There could/should be a limit of the number of ex-MPs allowed to be Upper House members, say 30%.
A single 7-year in the Upper House would negate any considerations about re-electability.
