Renting is tempting! The benefits of retirement rentals
Most McCarthy & Stone developments offer retirement homes for rent as well as for sale - and the unique benefits of retirement rental properties make them an ideal option for people who don’t want the commitment of ownership.
The rewards of renting a retirement property
- Carefree maintenance: you’ll have no worries about upkeep – any problems with the rental property are swiftly sorted out for you
- Fast and flexible: with fewer logistics than buying, it’s quicker and easier to move in – and out – of a rented property
- Budgeting is easy: you'll pay a single monthly payment with no service charge
- Frees up money: you may be able to use the equity from selling an existing property to do more of what you love
- Live on your terms: you’ll have the chance to try out a retirement community to see if it suits – and your home is yours for as long as you’d like it
- Enjoy the lifestyle: renting gives you access to all the community events, services and amenities on offer at your chosen retirement development
- Peace of mind: our Assured Periodic Tenancy Agreement means you can stay for as long as you like (you just have to give 2-months’ notice when you want to leave)

We're delighted to live at Llanthony Place, renting here was the best decision we could have made. We are able to live comfortably amongst nice and helpful people while having the sense of security. Renting gave us exactly what we wanted and now we’re just 10 minutes away from our family.
Brenda and Laurence, tenants at Llanthony Place, Gloucester
Being able to rent was an absolute godsend. It proved to me that I could downsize and still live very comfortably in my apartment. I feel very lucky to be part of this community – there’s always something going on and you can choose to get involved as much or as little as you want.
Gordon, Homeowner at Portland Grange, Leek
I chose renting because it gave me the flexibility to move straight away, without the hassle of having to sell a property later down the line. The Estate Manager, Rhona, is excellent. Her and the staff are wonderful and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Here, everything is done for me, which is a big relief!
Jean, Tenant at The Dairy, Tunbridge Wells
