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.

Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, is synonymous with William Shakespeare, but while the writer has left a considerable mark upon the town, you’ll find plenty of other attractions on offer too. The centre is about a 15 minute stroll from this new retirement development and you’ll find a number of quaint 16th century Tudor houses, and tributes to Shakespeare’s life and work, from his birthplace to his wife, Anne Hathaway's Cottage and Gardens. You can visit his grave at the beautiful Holy Trinity Church and the Royal Shakespeare Company Theatre puts on glorious productions all year around.
