Why should I buy a retirement home on a shared equity basis?
- Peace of mind
The people who buy our retirement homes may have decided that their present home is becoming too much of a burden.
Security
Some of our residents are reassured by the security of being able to call for help 24 hours a day in an emergency.
Independence
To buy one of our homes, you must be able to live independently. Please note that we do not provide nursing care or continuous day-to-day domestic assistance.
Low cost– Value for Money
Many of our homes are subsidised by a government grant.
Quality Housing
We provide quality housing of a high standard. All our new build properties hold an NHBC 10 year guarantee.
