Does McCarthy Stone buy back retirement homes?

No, but we have an experienced team of professionals within our resales estate agency service to assist you when you're ready to sell your retirement home. They can arrange a free valuation of your property and support you throughout the selling process.

The resales team has a unique understanding of retirement living, enabling us to communicate all the benefits clearly, and a waiting list of customers for some retirement developments. Alternatively, you can ask an independent estate agent/surveyor for a valuation.

The majority of McCarthy Stone retirement properties increase in value when resold. For retirement homes bought new in the last three years and since resold by our in-house resales team, for example, the net increase averages 7%.

To learn more about our resales service, speak to a member of our resales team on 0345 556 4104 or email [email protected].


Does McCarthy Stone charge a transfer or exit fee?

No. A transfer fee, also known as an exit or event fee, was a charge paid directly to the freeholder of the development when an apartment was sold or rented out. On 1st September 2008, McCarthy Stone abolished this fee on all leases in all retirement properties built after that date. If the development was built by us before September 2008 third parties own the freehold. We are unable to control the transfer/exit fee, but the owners will be fully aware of this.
