Usually people take between 12 to 16 weeks to complete the purchase of their new retirement home, but we will try and be as flexible as possible to suit your individual circumstances.
Once you’ve reserved your retirement property, it’s likely you’ll need to sell your current home. Part exchange means we’ll buy the property from you making the process quicker and easier.
Our Part Exchange offer includes:
- Certainty: relax in the knowledge that you’ll move in on a set date and that the sale price is fixed.
- Convenience: enjoy a stress-free way to sell your home without redecorating or having to prepare your home for viewings.
- Access: to your sold property for up to two weeks after completion.
- Financial benefits: there is no need to pay for estate agent fees and we’ll provide up to £1,000 towards solicitor fees*.
- A smooth move: our part exchange offer includes a free specialist removals service
Part Exchange in just 3 simple steps:
- Valuation:
Three independent local estate agents and a surveyor will value your property. - Offer:
You’ll receive an offer from us based on these valuations. There’s no obligation to accept, and you may get a higher price on the open market. It’s up to you whether the benefits of part exchange outweigh this. - Sold:
Should you accept this offer, we’ll work with your legal representatives to finalise the contracts — and even contribute £1,000 towards your solicitor fees*.
*T&Cs apply. Read the full T&Cs.

Frequently asked questions

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.
We’re continuing to improve our retirement housing to ensure properties retain their value.
This includes:
- Expanding upon and improving internal space with things like ensuites, walk-in wardrobes, level-access showers, ergonomic design, hidden care, walk out balconies and more.
- Setting up in-house management services teams dedicated to high standards for customers.
- Removing exit fees* and introducing 999-year leases.
Much more than a financial investment
It’s also important to remember that our retirement homes are not simply a financial investment, they are an investment in the quality of life for our customers and their families. Our customers are buying into a lifestyle based around security, comfort, friendship, ease of maintenance, support on hand, community, safety and well-being.
To learn more about our resales service, speak to a member of our resales team on 0345 556 4104 or email [email protected].
*A 1% contribution of the resale price still applies upon resale. This goes into the sinking fund (the contingency fund) for each development, which covers maintenance. There is also a small admin fee to cover the costs of checking that the incoming occupier meets the terms of the deed of conditions. Please contact our Property Transfer team on 01202 508299 for more details.

Meet our happy homeowners

Sasha is a very special little dog. She is very tiny only, weighing 2kgs and absolutely adores children especially those with “special needs”. I am hoping to register her as a Therapy Dog next year. I moved into Stover Court three years ago and I love my retirement flat but it has made all the difference sharing it with little Sasha, my loving and playful little companion.
