Your occupancy options

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 a government backed scheme.

Benefits

  • 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.

How does it work?

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.

Your service charge explained

Our service charge helps keep the shared areas of your development safe, welcoming, and well looked after, so you can spend less time worrying about maintenance and more time enjoying retirement.

It covers the day-to-day services needed to keep the development running smoothly, as well as putting money aside for future maintenance. 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 and answer any questions you may have.
