Beat stamp duty rises and enjoy a happy retirement with McCarthy Stone
Pop in for a tour of one our communities now and you could be enjoying your ideal new home by the summer. If you reserve your property by the 31st May and complete by the 31st July 2025, we’ll pay your stamp duty up to £12,000* too.

Happiness is a home designed around you
“I wish I’d done it sooner”, is a phrase McCarthy Stone homeowners use time and time again to describe their move to a beautiful new retirement property…and the easier lifestyle that comes with it.
Our homes are designed for your comfort and peace of mind:
- The privacy of your own home means ‘alone time’ is always an option but with a sociable community on your doorstep loneliness is never a problem.
- You’re totally independent but with the added security of a 24/7 emergency alarm and friendly staff on-site you’ll feel completely safe and secure.
- With the bigger jobs taken care of there’s more time to enjoy the finer things in life, like golf, lunches out or film nights with friends in the shared lounge.

Very rewarding Open Events
Come along to one of our Open Events between the 1st -5th of April, take a tour and meet the community - it’s a fantastic opportunity to see if the McCarthy Stone lifestyle suits you. If you’re a first-time visitor, you’ll get an M&S Gift Card too*
