Service charges cover the day-to-day costs of management and maintenance within our retirement developments, such as the heating and cleaning of communal areas, buildings insurance and redecoration. They are tightly regulated by national legislation and must relate to the management services provided within the development, not to construction or repair costs. Our service charges are ‘pass through’ costs which we do not mark up in any way. They are the costs of running your development.
Our service charge varies from development to development reflecting their different sizes and facilities, but they are calculated in the same way across the country.
Costs in Retirement Living PLUS developments are higher than in Retirement Living developments to reflect the increased staffing costs, the provision of care and lifestyle support packages, and the table-service restaurants/bistros provided on-site.
Call 0800 201 4811 or contact us online to find out more about our service charges.
The majority of McCarthy Stone retirement properties increase in value when resold. 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.

- Removing exit fees* and introducing 999-year leases.
