Your occupancy options

You can rent a retirement home on this development. Renting is an easy, flexible and quick way to enjoy life in a McCarthy & Stone community. Did you know? When you rent the Service Charge is paid by the property owner, not by the tenant.

A holding deposit is required to reserve a rental property. A security deposit will also be required before the tenancy begins, with the amount and any property-specific requirements detailed within the individual property advert.

How much is the deposit

Reservation deposit* £150.00

* This is a deposit payable to reserve a property. Once the tenancy has been agreed, your reservation deposit will be offset against the first month’s rent. Note this will be withheld if any relevant person (including any guarantor(s)) withdraw from the tenancy, fail a Right-to-Rent check, provide materially significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign their tenancy agreement (and/or Deed of Guarantee) within 15 calendar days (or other Deadline for Agreement as mutually agreed in writing).

Your service charge explained

Our service charge helps keep the shared areas of your development safe, welcoming and well looked after, while also covering additional services that make everyday life at our Retirement Living Plus developments easier and more enjoyable.

It covers the day-to-day services needed to keep the development running smoothly, as well as contributions to a fund for future maintenance. At Retirement Living Plus developments, it also includes one hour of domestic assistance each week. You can also enjoy subsidised seasonal food in our on-site restaurant. We work hard to manage these services efficiently and provide excellent value for homeowners.

Your sales consultant will explain the service charge for your chosen home, including the hour of domestic assistance provided each week, and answer any questions you may have.
