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.
If you buy 50% of the value of the property, you will pay rent 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. It provides a more affordable way to buy one of our retirement properties.

Shared Ownership is when you buy part of your property and rent the rest. It enables customers to enjoy a McCarthy Stone property without committing to purchase 100% of the property value. Homes England is the government approved provider of Shared Ownership schemes which enables us to deliver the ownership option. They regulate rental charges and fees applicable to the homes within this scheme.

No, Shared Ownership is available at selected developments and exclusions do apply. Speak to a Sales Consultant to find out more.

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

Before entering into the 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 take up our Shared Ownership offer, we require you to have a financial assessment with an Independent Advisor to make sure you can afford the ongoing costs both today 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

Car Parking spaces are available at some developments. Please ask the Sales Consultant for more details.

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.
