William House Apartment 48 - Shared Ownership Key Information

You can buy part of your home and pay rent on the rest, so you can move in and enjoy the benefits of the McCarthy Stone lifestyle without committing to outright purchase. The Shared Ownership scheme is run in conjunction with Homes England, our government approved partner.

  • 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. 
  • 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. If you purchase a lower share of the property, you will pay rent on the outstanding share. It provides a more affordable way to buy one of our retirement properties.

McCarthy Stone’s Older Persons Shared Ownership is run in partnership with Homes England and is ideal for those who want to enjoy the McCarthy Stone lifestyle without paying the full purchase price. OPSO means you can purchase a share of 75% or 50% of the overall property value.

  • If you choose to buy 75% of the property, you won’t have to pay rent on the outstanding share.
  • If you buy a 50% share you’ll pay an affordable monthly rent on the remaining 50%. It is only available on select properties. 

To qualify for Older Person’s Shared Ownership, you need to be 55 or older. Additionally, there will be age criteria for the McCarthy Stone retirement development you want to buy in (usually over 60 for for Retirement Living and over 70 for Retirement Living PLUS). Apart from that, the main criteria is that you must own only one property and have a household income of less than £80,000 (£90,000 in London).

Find out more about Older Persons Shared Ownership

No. We offer a wide selection of Older Persons Shared Ownership properties across England. However, not every McCarthy Stone development offers Older Persons Shared Ownership and not all properties at every development are eligible. If you want to know whether a specific development has Shared Ownership available you can message us online or call our friendly Sales Consultants on 0800 201 4811. 

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

Before entering into an Older Persons 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'd like to take up our Shared Ownership offer, we require you to have a financial assessment with an Independent Advisor. This is to make sure you can afford the ongoing costs now 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

 
 

On-site car parking and disabled parking for homeowners and guests is usually available but varies depending on the individual retirement village or development.

Any questions about parking? Call 0800 201 4811 or contact us online.

With Older Persons Shared Ownership you are eligible to claim up to £500 a year to help with essential repairs for ten years.

Pipes and drainage items for heating and hot water are also included. Find out more about Older Persons Shared Ownership.
