Everyone has a reason for moving to us
The UK’s seen an enormous shift in the rental market from retirees looking to rent because it offers both independence and flexibility. Uncertainty in the housing market and post-pandemic reflections play into this.
Birchgrove, the specialist developer of high-quality retirement properties offers its assisted living apartments solely for rent. There are no stamp duty costs or legal conveyancing fees or stress. There’s no pressure to buy, and you need only give two months’ notice should you wish to leave.
Yet, you’ve security with this flexibility, as all apartments come with an Assured Tenancy for those making Birchgrove their main home*. It’s a tidy and straightforward affair.
Better control of your money
Staying on top of rocketing household bills from multiple service providers is a time-consuming and daunting task of late. Thankfully not the case, if you choose to live at Birchgrove.
Here you can enjoy one inclusive rent which covers large- ticket expenses like gas, electricity, heating and water – plus most incidental costs that go with running a home, eg housekeeping, internet, window cleaning, gardening, buildings insurance, security and a whole host of other things. Knowing your outgoings each month means no surprises. You know exactly how much goes out each month and how much you’ve got to play with.
Rent is reviewed once a year, so fixed until 2024, when it will be adjusted in line with the retail price index. So, why not trade time and effort for convenience and peace of mind?
No service charges or exit fees.
We don’t charge service charges or exit fees. All you pay is the rent and a one-off joining fee – which gives you access to an independent financial adviser (IFA) who can help provide tailored advice to suit your individual needs on how to fund your move.
It also covers the Senior Move Partnership, our trusted provider of specialist help for those in later life and their families – invaluable when moving house.
All apartments are specifically designed for people in later life, featuring waist height appliances in the fully fitted kitchens for easy access and ensuite showers.
Residents have access to exclusive onsite amenities such as a restaurant, bar, club room, a communal terrace, exercise studio, landscaped gardens and greenhouse. Regular events and activities programme also contribute to the friendly community lifestyle, and for added peace of mind there is a concierge and 24-hour staff presence.
