Downsizing made easy with McCarthy & Stone
When Margaret Press found her dream apartment at McCarthy & Stone’s Warburton Court retirement development in Uppermill, she left the hassle of selling her current home to the house builder.
By using McCarthy & Stone’s part exchange scheme, Margaret avoided the uncertainty of whether she would be able to sell and was able to leave dealing with estate agents to the retirement specialist. All she had to do was decide which apartment she wanted to buy and accept an offer on her current property.
Margaret, 67, said: “My husband John and I had looked at moving to McCarthy & Stone’s Garstang development a little while ago and so I have continued to receive bits of literature through the post from the team. When John died I got in touch with Kay, the sales consultant at Warburton Court, and went to have a look. As soon as I walked in I knew I wanted to live there. There was something about the atmosphere – it seemed such a happy, content place and I knew I’d feel at home. I left having reserved the stylish ‘try before you buy’ one bedroom apartment, as I loved the design and I didn’t need to worry about carpets, curtains, light fittings or a fire and surround as they came in the price.”
With three children, five grandchildren and a busy social life, Margaret wanted to make moving from her three bedroom Lytham home as easy as possible and so McCarthy & Stone’s part exchange scheme was the ideal solution.
She added: “Moving house is stressful enough so to leave the sale of my former home to McCarthy & Stone was brilliant. Kay and Amanda, the house manager, have been a real support and the way everything has gone so smoothly has also given my children peace of mind. They know I’m happy here, I don’t have to worry about maintenance or security and there is always someone to chat to. I would recommend McCarthy & Stone to anyone as the service is beyond compare.”
Fiona Brooks, regional sales and marketing manager, said: “Many purchasers, like Margaret, have found our part exchange scheme to be the ideal solution as it takes the uncertainty out of moving.
