No. A transfer fee, which is 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 developments built after that date.
If the development was built before September 2008 but third parties own the freehold, we are unable to control the transfer/exit fee, but the owners will be fully aware of this.
McCarthy & Stone does however charge a sinking/contingency fee which is paid on resale. This fee does not go to McCarthy & Stone but covers the long-term maintenance of the development.
