Those that know
The only way to truly find out how special our developments are, is to speak to a homeowner yourself.
Moving to a new property brings with it many different emotions, you may be feeling excited or even a little anxious about joining a retirement community. Rest assured all our homeowners have once been where you are today. They’ve downsized, relocated and wondered whether their retirement living would be what they hoped for. They are therefore our best advocates and the very best people to help answer any questions you may have about life at McCarthy Stone.
Our Community Ambassadors are available for you to call or meet up with prior to moving to a development. Whether you’re at the early stages of planning or close to making a purchase, it will give you the opportunity to freely ask any questions you may have to a McCarthy Stone homeowner.
Call our team who will put you in touch with one of our homeowners today.
A PIPER. SOME REELS, AND A CEILIDH
A McCarthy Stone community is made of more than brick and mortar. They’re made of wonderful acts of kindness. And this one came wearing a kilt. The tartan ensemble in question belonged to a highland piper. Hired to make sure that Pat and husband John felt special on their wedding anniversary during lockdown. A great day that, luckily for the bagpiper, wasn’t too cold and windy.
YOU CAN’T BEAT A BIT OF BALCONY BANTER.
They’re made of lively lock-ins during lockdown. Enjoyed by John and his friends and neighbours, who coined the phrase ‘brilliant balcony banter’ to describe the safe distance tipples and laughter they shared to keep spirits up. Determined as they were to not let a pandemic get in the way of their fun.
GARDENS BURSTING WITH COLOUR AND LAUGHTER
They’re made of gardens filled with fragrant blossom, and raucous peels of laughter. From homeowners like Maggie, whose infectious chuckling can often be heard on video calls, making the most of the wi-fi coverage as she enjoys a lively al fresco natter.
BINGO! HACKING THE CCTV WAS EASY
They’re made of fun and resourceful people. Like at Isabella House, where a genius plan was hatched to play bingo during lockdown by hacking the door-camera system. So they could all enjoy bingo together, from the safety of their own ‘house!’
“The team at McCarthy Stone Resales were incredibly friendly and helpful, from our very first enquiry to the completion of our property purchase at River View Court. The service provided throughout was excellent. Thank you for your assistance.”
River View Court, West Bridgford
“The whole buying process with McCarthy Stone Resales was very easy and clear. We opted for the part-exchange process which alleviated the uncertainty of how long it would take to sell our own property. We are extremely pleased with the whole experience. Thank you!”
Cwrt Gloddaeth, Llandudno
“I would like to express my thanks for the excellent work done by your Resales team throughout the sales process of our apartment at Clarkson Court in Woodbridge. Throughout all of this period, the endeavours and personal commitment from McCarthy Stone Resales was exemplary and is gratefully appreciated, and the friendly and helpful manner of the team is truly commendable.”
Clarkson Court, Woodbridge
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.”
