If you’re looking to retire to a quiet, leafy, residential suburb, but with quick and easy transport links into London, Purley could well be the place for you. Our proposed Retirement Living development in Purley will feature just 29 apartments, reflecting the town’s close-knit community feel. Most will be two-beds, with a few one-beds also on offer, and some will even have balconies overlooking the site’s beautiful landscaped gardens. Homeowners will also have full use of the club lounge, a tastefully designed space where you’ll be able to catch up with neighbours over a tea or coffee.

By retiring to our Purley development, you could free yourself of some of the more burdensome aspects of homeownership. Property management and maintenance will be taken care of, as will water and sewerage rates. The House Manager will manage the development day-to-day and will be available during office hours should anything crop up. What’s more, you’ll have access to a 24-hour emergency call centre, there’ll be a camera-entry system, and we guarantee accessibility throughout, with lifts to all floors.

We’re here to make your retirement easier, giving you more time to enjoy the finer things in life. Pop into Purley town centre, just 0.3 miles away, to sample some of its many restaurants and cafes, boutiques and salons. And if you’re looking to travel further afield, Purley railway station is just 0.4 miles from the development, where regular trains run to London Victoria and surrounding areas. You can also very easily access both the M23 and the M25.

Many of our homeowners are pleased to find that the service charges for their apartment tend to work out at less than what they were paying in like-for-like costs at their previous property.

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.

Yes. If you want a quick, simple way to sell your home and move into one of our retirement properties, then Part Exchange could be the answer. For more information please click here .

We have an expert resales team for people selling our retirement properties, with an extensive database of customers waiting to move in. This helps us to sell faster and at a better price than traditional estate agents. On average the McCarthy Stone Resales team achieve a net price increase on the retirement properties they sell. For example, for properties bought new in the last three years and since resold, the net increase averages 6%. View resale retirement homes.

You have the option to part buy, part rent your retirement property. It’s an affordable way to enjoy all the benefits of our retirement apartments without committing to the full purchase price. If you want more financial flexibility, this could be the right option for you.

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.

A flexible, affordable alternative to outright purchase, with all the benefits of ownership. For more information call: 0800 201 4811
