Occupancy options
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.

Things to do in Exmouth
These lovely new retirement homes will be conveniently positioned just off Salterton road, near to a Tesco supermarket, opposite a bus stop and close to green spaces, with Exmouth’s vibrant town centre just a few minutes’ drive away.
Exmouth is a lively port town and seaside resort, situated on the east coast of Devon, where the River Exe meets the sea. As well as a harbour, it boasts two miles of golden sandy beaches and is the gateway to the breath-taking Jurassic coast.
The area offers plenty of opportunities to get out into the great outdoors, with abundant cycling and walking trails nearby, including the spectacular South West Coastal path. Exmouth is a wildlife hotspot with thousands of birds spending winter on the estuary at Exmouth Nature Reserve. Exmouth is also a popular spot for water sports.
As well as a range of pubs and eateries, historic Exmouth has an indoor market, plenty of shopping opportunities and a Blue Plaque heritage trail. There are festivals aplenty too, with the annual Exmouth Festival of arts and music, the Kite Festival in August and, for seafood lovers, the Spirit of the Exe and Exmouth Mussel Festival in September.
Travelling further afield couldn’t be easier either. Exmouth Train Station is in the centre of the town and you can be in London Paddington in around three and a half hours. By road, Exmouth is only 8 miles from the M5 and 11 miles from Exeter, which has an international airport.
