Making moving easy
Moving home is a huge step. And if you’re lucky enough to have decades of happy memories in your current home, it’s tricky to know where to start.
This three-step guide takes you through the process, so you’ll exactly what to expect and how we can support you.
Step 1
Find a home you love
The first step is to look for a home that ticks all your boxes. You can search all our available resale properties here.
All our developments are well-placed with local amenities and essential transport link within easy reach. When you spot a property you like, simply request a viewing or call our team to find out more.
Stay up to date with all our developments
You might know of a McCarthy Stone development in your area that’s currently sold out. It’s a good idea to let us know you’re interested. We can then keep you fully informed when properties become available
Step 2
Make it yours
Once you’ve chosen your ideal property, all you need to do is make an offer with one of our Property Consultants. They will then work with you and our dedicated Sales Progressor to make the process is as straightforward as possible.
If you have a property to sell, why not ask our Property Consultants about our part exchange service? You’ll benefit from a guaranteed house sale, no chain, no estate agent fees and the ability to move at your own pace.
This is also a good opportunity to speak with our Entitlements Advisor to see what allowances you may be able to claim and how much financial support you could receive.
We can also put you in touch with one of our Conveyancing specialists who knows our developments well and can help your purchase go through as smoothly as possible.
Step 3
Moving in
The easier the move, the sooner you can start doing more of the things you love. Our removal experts can make all the difference on moving day – from decluttering to unpacking your boxes, they can take care of everything for you, so you can sit back and relax.
Enjoy your happy place
With the move complete, you can start to enjoy living life your way. Meet your new neighbours, explore the area and make the most of everything your community has to offer. Enjoy retirement living your way.
Recently used McCarthy Stone Resales for the sale of our apartment at Robert Adam Court in Alnwick. Would thoroughly recommend them to anybody who is thinking of selling – it costs a bit more than if you use a local estate agent, but is worth it for a) the wider access to the target market for these apartments through their network, and b) the specific knowledge and expertise of the House Manager. In our case Philip, the Manager at Robert Adam Court, was extremely helpful and played an important part in the sale process. Many thanks.
Robert Adam Court, Alnwick
“I would particularly like to thank House Manager, Gillian Wright at Grove Court, not only for her help during the sale process, but her dedication to her role during the five years my mother lived at Grove Court. I would also like to thank Brendan Mann for his help with negotiating the sale of the property. I would highly recommend McCarthy Stone Resales.”
Mr Smith, Grove Court
“The resales team have done a brilliant job in finding me a purchaser at a sensible selling price. I am very happy with the service I received and believe that the teams specialist knowledge about the intricacies of retirement living along with a client base of people interested in this particular type of property has led to a successful outcome all
round. Thank you so much for all your help.”
Carolyn Chapman, Rowleys Court
“Our House Manager Kerry is a real superstar. She’s always there to help straight away, no matter how big or small the issue is. It is so comforting to have somebody there who you know you can rely on. She makes life so easy for us.”
Mr and Mrs Clarke, Homeowners, Walsall
“We are very lucky to be very active and able to do things we love in life. We’re regularly off on holiday. We have nothing to worry about now as we can lock up and leave knowing our apartment is part of this fabulous development with 24-hour security.”
Mr and Mrs Fleming, Homeowners, Anstruther
“Lifestyle Living apartments are absolutely perfect for those looking to downsize with no other requirements. We’re living as independently as we always did, but now with much more flexibility and fun!”
Mr and Mrs Hale, Homeowners
“It’s fantastic to see everyone come together and join in with the celebrations, the residents have enjoyed it immensely (especially the margaritas!) It’s occasions such as these that truly demonstrate the vibrancy of our retirement communities.”
Allison Crews-Orchard, House Manager
“I’ve always been a sociable person, so it’s lovely that there are always other people around and lots of activities to get involved in, like the coffee mornings, film nights, and of course, the art classes. There is always something going on at the development.”
Mrs Hampton, Homeowner, Poundbury
“I’d 100 per cent recommend downsizing into a McCarthy Stone property – you won’t look back.”
Dermot and Sue Bradley, Homeowners
“Living here is so fantastic because we are completely independent with the added bonus of getting together with other homeowners as and when we want to.”
