What is an Assured Tenancy?
Assured Tenancy means that you agree to rent the property for a minimum term of 12 months, but after that you can leave at any time as long as you give two months written notice. We can’t ask you to leave unless you have broken the terms of the agreement.
I want to rent. What checks do you carry out and what do I need to prepare?
We’ll ask you to complete a Rental Application Pack and an Income and Expenditure form to get the information we need to do standard background checks. You’ll be asked for proof of income, savings and/or pensions, along with copies of your last three months’ bank statements. You’ll be asked to provide identification documentation that complies with the latest Government Right to Rent regulations – our sales consultants will talk you through what you need.
Do I need to pay a reservation deposit?
Yes, you will need to pay a small refundable reservation deposit to reserve the property. You will also have to pay a security deposit equivalent to five weeks rent when you move in.
What do I have to pay before moving in?
Before you can move into your property, you will need to pay the first month’s rent together with your security deposit, minus the reservation deposit you’ve already paid.
The security deposit is equivalent to five weeks rent. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure you know the exact amount you need to pay in plenty of time.
McCarthy Stone is part of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, membership number G10625. Download the Tenancy Deposit Scheme leaflet.
What date are rental payments due?
All rental payments are due on the 1st of each month and must be paid by direct debit. Your rent includes all of the development’s service charges, ground rents and property maintenance.
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.
What is Part buy, part rent?

Living in Audlem
Set in beautiful rural Cheshire, the village of Audlem perfectly combines an unspoilt traditional feel with a thriving community. The village is situated on the Shropshire Union Canal where passing barges meander their way to the nearby 15 rising locks, designed by Thomas Telford.
The 13th Century St James' Church stands right at the heart of the village and presides over the attractive streets still adorned with traditional wooden shop-fronts and flower displays. But while Audlem retains its picturesque village charm, there's still an excellent range of shops, trades and local amenities at hand. Everything you'll need from a pharmacy to the post-office and all just a short stroll from the development.
Audlem also has plenty of places to eat, drink and meet the friendly locals with a Cafe, a Deli and three first-rate pubs in the village alone. A regular bus service makes it easy to explore the surrounding area which has a wealth of traditional country inns, gastropubs and fine restaurants - all located in pretty villages and beautiful rural settings.
Lyme Wood Grange is in a beautifully peaceful location, with plenty of local amenities for residents.
Just 0.6 miles from the development, you can find a medical practice and a Co-op Food for all your essentials. Nearby, there are also a number of tea rooms, delicatessens and the local fish and chip shop.
