- Retirement Living: Luxurious and low-maintenance independent living retirement properties in prime locations, exclusively for those aged over 60. These developments also include an on-site manager and shared spaces for socialising. Learn more about Retirement Living.
- Retirement Living PLUS: Featuring all the benefits of Retirement Living — PLUS assisted living facilities like an on-site restaurant/bistro, a 24-hour on-site team and optional care. Exclusively for those aged 70 and over. Learn more about Retirement Living PLUS.
What does Retirement Living include?
Can I buy a Retirement Living property at my age?
There is no age limit for buying one of our apartments, but there are age restrictions on who is allowed to live in them.
Each development has its own lease requirements, so it is always best to check, but usually to have sole occupancy of a Retirement Living apartment you need to be aged 60 or over. For joint occupancy, one of the occupants has to be over 60 and the other over 55. The lease will state that you’re not permitted to occupy an apartment under the age limit set. There’s no upper age limit.
