Energy bills often turn out to be lower thanks to the modern construction methods we use at all our developments. Your new apartment is also likely to be a more manageable size and so cheaper to run.

When Customers discuss the purchase of a McCarthy Stone apartment with us, they receive a service charge leaflet and our Sales Executive sits down with them to help them fill in the costs, review what is covered in the management services and compare them to day-to-day running costs in their current home. Our Sales Executive ensures that they have a detailed knowledge of ongoing costs before a sale is completed

Usually this can take between 12 to 16 weeks. We understand that some customers may have a time period that will more suitable for them and we aim to be as flexible as we can.

Caroline Craig-Cordel

Sales Consultant

I am passionate that when you retire, your life starts again. At McCarthy and Stone the Homeowners are able to live a full life without many of the worries they had in their old homes. It is nice watching people blossom with the care that McCarthy and Stone take with a purchaser buying the property. There is help given to make the purchase a stress free experience. I love the way we are able to spend time with each person to give the best possible service.
