Set in the affluent and desirable market town of Macclesfield, Cheshire, Kings Scholars Court is a superb Retirement Living development for the over 60's, offering 11 one bedroom and 20 two bedroom beautiful retirement apartments available for sale.

This Retirement Living development in Macclesfield offers safe, secure, luxurious and low maintenance private retirement apartments, exclusive to the over the 60s.

Low maintenance and sociable
Kings Scholars Court Retirement Living development is designed to encourage the community feeling to flourish, while also allowing you to enjoy the complete privacy of your own spacious retirement apartment. You’ll enjoy stylish well-maintained communal spaces, including the well-appointed lounge with free Wi-Fi, and a lush landscaped garden with potting shed - ideal for meeting your friends, neighbours and family for a drink and a chat. We've found the communal facilities have become social hubs – a hive of informal gatherings and regular clubs, events and meet-ups to suit all sorts of interests. You’ll find things like film nights, pie and mash lunches, knitting clubs, cocktail evenings, music, yoga, birthday parties and even the odd fiesta.

As well as being well-insulated, light and warm, they have the latest safety and security features. You’ll benefit from a 24-hour emergency call system, fire detection and door camera entry, so you can see who it is before answering the door.
Fantastic locationStroll out the front door and you'll find an abundance of shops, independent boutiques and eateries, as well as a supermarket. West Park is just a short walk away, where you'll find a bowling green, a cafe and a play area. You'll find all the amenities you could ask for in the local area, from a medical centre and doctors’ surgery to a leisure centre and a library.

Occupancy options
The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 999 years from and including 01/01/2023
It’s an affordable approach to owning a stunning new retirement home:
- You may be able to access cash tied up in your existing property (known as ‘equity release’)
- You can choose to buy a bigger percentage of the property in the future – this reduces the rent you pay
- If you want, we can buy your existing property as a part exchange
- You’ll be eligible for our free Smooth Move removal service, plus a contribution to legal and estate agent fees
The rent is set at the point of purchase. Annual rent review on the date specified in your lease will be indexed to movements in the Retail Price Index (RPI) subject to a minimum 0.5%. RPI has been in the range c.1-4% since 2013 and was 3.3% in March 2018. 3.3% is equivalent to an extra £1.98 per week for typical rent of £60 per week.

70% is the standard option – there are options to increase this over time, known as staircasing.
What is staircasing and how does it work?
What further costs and fees are involved You can purchase further 10% increments, based on valuation at that point. You can staircase to 100% at which point the property would be wholly owned. You would stop paying rent, but service charges continue to be payable to McCarthy Stone.
Each time you staircase you need to plan for additional costs such as valuation fee, legal expenses, SDLT*/LTT** if applicable.

Do I pay Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) or Land Transaction Tax (LTT) on a private shared ownership property?
You will need to pay SDLT*/LTT** on a private shared ownership property, but you may have less to pay than if you had purchased outright. You should seek advice from your solicitor to confirm how much SDLT you have to pay.
