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.

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.

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
