This retirement property is available for sale

From selling your existing home to moving in, our lovely Sales Consultants go above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. Ask us about Smooth Move—where you’ll get help towards estate agent and legal fees as well as free removals— or part exchange where you’ll benefit from a guaranteed house sale.

This is a leasehold property with a term of 999 years from and including 01/01/2018

Council Tax Band: E

You can buy properties on this development. If you’d like to own your retirement property, we can help make the move as stress-free as possible, including support with packing and removals. If you have a home to sell, we can even act as a cash buyer, so you’ll avoid chains and estate agent fees.

That depends on your individual circumstances, but in many cases, service charges are lower than like-for-like costs in a previous property. Our research shows you could save over £2,300 a year on household bills in a McCarthy & Stone retirement apartment when compared to a typical home*. Read about how we can save money on your cost of living.

Call 0800 201 4811 or contact us online to find out more about our service charges.

*Typical net saving when running a McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living apartment when compared to the cost of running a typical home is £2,312 per year. Source: Internal research carried out by McCarthy & Stone, 2022. Based on information from Address Intelligence using a combination of census, EPC, and planning permission.

Usually people take between 12 to 16 weeks to complete the purchase of their new retirement home, but we will try to be as flexible as possible to suit your individual circumstances.

Once you’ve reserved your retirement property, it’s likely you’ll need to sell your current home. Part exchange means you'll have a cash buyer for your property, making the process quicker and easier.

Our Part Exchange offer includes:

  • Certainty: relax in the knowledge that you’ll move in on a set date and that the sale price is fixed.
  • Convenience: enjoy a stress-free way to sell your home without redecorating or having to prepare your home for viewings.
  • Access: to your sold property for up to two weeks after completion.
  • Financial benefits:  there is no need to pay for estate agent fees and we’ll provide up to £1,000 towards solicitor fees*.
  • A smooth move: our part exchange offer includes a free specialist removals service

Part Exchange in just 3 simple steps:

  1. Valuation:
    Three independent local estate agents and a surveyor will value your property.
  2. Offer:
    You’ll receive an offer from us based on these valuations. There’s no obligation to accept, and you may get a higher price on the open market. It’s up to you whether the benefits of part exchange outweigh this.
  3. Sold:
    Should you accept this offer, we’ll work with your legal representatives to finalise the contracts — and even contribute £1,000 towards your solicitor fees*.

*T&Cs apply. Read the full T&Cs.

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, and the majority of our resale prices increase in net value. View resale retirement homes.
