Occupancy options
The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 999 years from and including 01/01/2023
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.

The town is also just 4 miles from Stockport town centre. At Stockport's heart is Robinsons Brewery, one of Britain's oldest breweries. Take a tour and discover its fascinating history, stretching back to 1838, and find out how the brewery has evolved with its now wide use of modern technologies. And, of course, don't forget to sample some of the brewery's liquid produce and enjoy delicious food in its top-quality bar and restaurant.
In Stockport town centre you'll also find The Plaza. This cinema and theatre space has been fully restored to its 1930s glory and here you can enjoy a range of performances from pantomimes and musicals to concerts and stage plays, as well as classic films screened in the cinema. Plus, don't visit The Plaza without popping into the sumptuous Art Deco cafe for a wonderful fine dining experience or afternoon tea.
And, just 6 miles from Bramhall is Quarry Bank Mill, an 18th century mill open to the public. Wander around the mill to discover how it would have worked in its heyday and the hardships faced by workers at the time. Hear the roars of the engines, marvel at the mighty steam-powered waterwheel and stroll among the mill's beautiful gardens and miles of woodland.
Located on 64 Ack Lane East, the development Queens View is adjacent to Hillbrook Grange and within a short distance of all Bramhall’s amenities.
You'll find a medical practice, a pharmacy and a Tesco Express all within 0.3 miles. In the surrounding area, Bramhall Golf Club is 1 mile away and the woodlands of Bramhall Park are 1.5 miles away.
