Occupancy options
The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 999 years from and including 01/01/2022
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?
A flexible, affordable alternative to outright purchase, with all the benefits of ownership. For more information call: 0800 201 4811

Is private shared ownership available at all McCarthy Stone developments?
No. This offer is available at selected McCarthy Stone developments, so make sure you check with the sales team on site.
What % of the property do I have to purchase?
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.
*Stamp Duty Land Tax **Land Transaction Tax (LTT) has replaced SDLT in Wales from April 2018
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.
*Stamp Duty Land Tax **Land Transaction Tax (LTT) has replaced SDLT in Wales from April 2018
How much rent will I have to pay and how will that change over time with rent reviews?

Living in Harrogate
Harrogate is a spa town in North Yorkshire that’s regularly voted as one of the best places to live in the UK. This is because it’s full of handsome historic buildings and beautiful gardens. Although it’s an old town, modern-day Harrogate is the go-to destination for relaxation and indulgence. You can still visit several of the town’s superb spas, including the original Turkish Baths.

Although the town is relatively small, its centre buzzes with shoppers searching for the latest designer brands and diners taking advantage of the many wonderful eateries. The most famous of these is Bettys Café Tea Rooms, where the queue usually extends around the block. The famous café is now over 100 years old but it’s more popular than ever.
But, Harrogate isn’t a location that’s full of hustle and bustle. The town has a lot of open space, including the 200-acre Stray that gives the town a spacious feel. There’s also the beautiful Valley Gardens and RHS Garden Harlow Carr within the town centre. Further afield, you’re also only a 15-minute drive away from the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and half an hour away from the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Harrogate has plenty of high street stores and shopping centres but, if you’re looking for a day out, the town’s main train station has direct trains to Leeds, York and even London.
Our retirement properties in Harrogate will be located just off Wetherby Road, which is close to the centre of this beautiful town. This means you’ll be within 1.5 miles of a Sainsbury’s supermarket, a Morrisons, a Waitrose & Partners and an Asda Superstore.
There’s plenty to keep you busy in the centre of Harrogate, too. Within 2 miles of the development, you’ll find the famous Bettys Café Tea Rooms, the Victoria Shopping Centre and the Royal Hall.
Our development will also be under 0.5 miles away from Harrogate’s famous Stray, where you can enjoy a picturesque walk. If you’d like to visit further afield, then the development will only be 1.3 miles from Harrogate train station.
