These retirement homes are available for sale, rent and Shared Ownership

We’ve got a choice of flexible options to suit your lifestyles and financial circumstances. Your friendly Sales Consultant can help you choose the right one for you, so you can start planning life in your lovely new home.

The properties at this development are leasehold properties with a term of 999 years from and including 01/05/2024

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.

You can rent a retirement home on this development. Renting is an easy, flexible and quick way to enjoy life in a McCarthy & Stone community. Did you know? When you rent the Service Charge is paid by the property owner, not by the tenant.

Reservation deposit* £150.00

* This is a deposit payable to reserve a property. Once the tenancy has been agreed, your reservation deposit will be offset against the first month’s rent. Note this will be withheld if any relevant person (including any guarantor(s)) withdraw from the tenancy, fail a Right-to-Rent check, provide materially significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign their tenancy agreement (and/or Deed of Guarantee) within 15 calendar days (or other Deadline for Agreement as mutually agreed in writing).

An Assured Periodic Tenancy on a retirement rental gives you legal protection, meaning that if you abide by the conditions of your tenancy, you can live in the property for as long as you like. If you wish to move, you can serve two months at any time during your tenancy.

Contact us online or call 0800 201 4811 for more information about our retirement rentals.

If you’d like to move into a McCarthy & Stone retirement rental, we’ll ask you to complete a Rental Application Pack and an Income and Expenditure form. These give us 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 also be asked to provide identification documents that comply with the latest Government Right to Rent regulations.

Contact us online or call 0800 201 4811 for more information about moving into our retirement rentals.

Yes. You pay a deposit to secure your rental retirement property which is offset against your first month’s rental payment. A Tenancy Deposit, equivalent to five weeks' rent, will need to be paid when your tenancy begins.

Contact us online or call 0800 201 4811 for more information about deposits.

All payments for our retirement rentals are due on the 1st of each month and must be paid by direct debit.

Contact us online or call 0800 201 4811 for more information about our retirement rentals.

You can buy part of your home and pay rent on the rest, so you can move in and enjoy the benefits of the McCarthy & Stone lifestyle without committing to outright purchase. The Shared Ownership scheme is run in conjunction with a government backed scheme.

  • You can enjoy the McCarthy & Stone lifestyle without paying the full purchase price.
  • Buying a percentage share of the property allows you to manage your finances to cater for possible future needs.
  • If you buy 75% of the value of the property, there is no rent to pay on the outstanding share. 
  • You could claim up to £500 a year to help with essential repairs in the first 10 years.

With this scheme, you can purchase up to 75% of the value of your property – and if you own 75%, you won’t pay any rent on the outstanding 25% share. If you purchase a lower share of the property, you will pay rent on the outstanding share. It provides a more affordable way to buy one of our retirement properties.

McCarthy & Stone’s Older Persons Shared Ownership is run in partnership with a government backed scheme and is ideal for those who want to enjoy the McCarthy & Stone lifestyle without paying the full purchase price. OPSO means you can purchase a share of 75% or 50% of the overall property value.

  • If you choose to buy 75% of the property, you won’t have to pay rent on the outstanding share.
  • If you buy a 50% share you’ll pay an affordable monthly rent on the remaining 50%. It is only available on select properties. 

To qualify for Older Person’s Shared Ownership, you need to be 55 or older. Additionally, there will be age criteria for the McCarthy & Stone retirement development you want to buy in. Apart from that, the main criteria is that you must own only one property and have a household income of less than £80,000 (£90,000 in London).

Find out more about Older Persons Shared Ownership

No. We offer a wide selection of Older Persons Shared Ownership properties across England. However, not every McCarthy & Stone development offers Older Persons Shared Ownership and not all properties at every development are eligible. If you want to know whether a specific development has Shared Ownership available you can message us online or call our friendly Sales Consultants on 0800 201 4811. 

McCarthy & Stone (Shared Ownership) Limited will become your landlord on the share you don't own.

Before entering into an Older Persons Shared Ownership agreement we recommend that you obtain independent financial advice so you know what your new home will cost and that you can afford it.

If you'd like to take up our Shared Ownership offer, we require you to have a financial assessment with an Independent Advisor. This is to make sure you can afford the ongoing costs now and if your circumstances change. We will put you in contact with an advisor who has experience of Shared Ownership schemes and can assess your eligibility.

You should plan for some one-off costs associated with your purchase, including, but not limited to the following:

• Reservation deposit (which is deducted from your final purchase)

• Solicitors Fees and disbursements

• Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in England.

Your solicitor will be able to tell you if the tax applies and how much it will be

• Estate Agent fees if selling a current property

 
 

On-site car parking and disabled parking for homeowners and guests is usually available but varies depending on the individual retirement village or development.

Any questions about parking? Call 0800 201 4811 or contact us online.

With Older Persons Shared Ownership you are eligible to claim up to £500 a year to help with essential repairs for ten years. This covers items in the home that supply water and electricity such as basins, baths, toilets and also cables, but not fixtures, or appliances such as ovens or washing machines. Pipes and drainage items for heating and hot water are also included. Find out more about Older Persons Shared Ownership.

Service charges cover the day-to-day costs of management and maintenance within our retirement developments, such as the heating and cleaning of communal areas, buildings insurance and redecoration. They are tightly regulated by national legislation and must relate to the management services provided within the development, not to construction or repair costs. Our service charges are ‘pass through’ costs which we do not mark up in any way. They are the costs of running your development.

Our service charge varies from development to development reflecting their different sizes and facilities, but they are calculated in the same way across the country.

Costs in Retirement Living PLUS developments are higher than in Retirement Living developments to reflect the increased staffing costs, the provision of care and lifestyle support packages, and the table-service restaurants/bistros provided on-site.

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

The majority of McCarthy & Stone retirement properties increase in value when resold. The resales team has a unique understanding of retirement living, enabling us to communicate all the benefits clearly, and a waiting list of customers for some retirement developments.

We’re continuing to improve our retirement housing to ensure properties retain their value.

This includes:

  • Expanding upon and improving internal space with things like ensuites, walk-in wardrobes, level-access showers, ergonomic design, hidden care, walk out balconies and more.
  • Setting up in-house management services teams dedicated to high standards for customers.
  • Removing exit fees* and introducing 999-year leases.

Much more than a financial investment

It’s also important to remember that our retirement homes are not simply a financial investment, they are an investment in the quality of life for our customers and their families. Our customers are buying into a lifestyle based around security, comfort, friendship, ease of maintenance, support on hand, community, safety and well-being.

To learn more about our resales service, speak to a member of our resales team on 0345 556 4104 or email [email protected].

*A 1% contribution of the resale price still applies upon resale. This goes into the sinking fund (the contingency fund) for each development, which covers maintenance. There is also a small admin fee to cover the costs of checking that the incoming occupier meets the terms of the deed of conditions. Please contact our Property Transfer team on 01202 508299 for more details.

Yes. Most of our retirement developments are more than happy for you to move in with a well-behaved pet – most of our retirement rentals are pet friendly too. Call 0800 201 4811 for details, contact us online or read more about our pet-friendly policy.
