When you decide to buy, we’re here to support you every step of the way from selling your existing home to packing up and settling into your new one. Ask us about Part Exchange and Smooth Move.

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.

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.

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.

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.
  • Removing exit fees* and introducing 999-year leases.
