As always we aim to keep the actual process of buying and selling very easy, simple and un-stressful for customers – leaving them free to look forward to enjoying retirement life in their new apartment.”

Plus, for a limited period, new potential buyers viewing the show homes at any participating development of new homes in Scotland will be given a £20 M&S voucher, subject to terms and conditions.

McCarthy & Stone is the UK’s leading retirement living provider and has pioneered the idea of retirement living. Developments offer residents all the freedom they are used to but also the reassurance that help is easily available if needed. A house manager is on hand to look after the site and the communal facilities, which include a laundry room, central lounge and a guest suite for visiting friends and family. A 24-hour personal emergency service and TV security system on the main entrance provide extra peace of mind.
