- 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.

Meet some of our happy homeowners
Two of our grandchildren, Dylan and Evelyn, now come to stay with us after school which is lovely.
Not only does it help out our son and daughter-in-law, who both work full-time, it also has a real positive impact on my health and overall wellbeing too as it’s such a great feeling to be able to support them when they need it.
Lorraine, Homeowner at Roslin Place, Hook
The friendships I’ve cultivated here are truly special –everyone is so lovely and welcoming.
We share stories, laughter, and create wonderful memories together. It’s such a joy to be part of this caring and considerate group of individuals
Mike, Homeowner at Gilbert Place, Swindon
Moving has impacted our life completely for the better. We can get out to do more things and it’s more secure than the bungalow we were living in, which was quite isolated. It’s great to have other people around. What else can I say, it’s been absolutely super.
Brian and Lynne, Homeowners at Casterbridge Court, Dorchester
