How it works
Our rental package goes beyond just rent. It’s a complete lifestyle package designed to make everyday living easy.
A £1,000 reservation fee secures your chosen apartment and is offset against your first month’s rent.
From utilities and housekeeping to wellbeing spaces and community amenities, everything you need is then included in one simple monthly payment.
Our assured tenancy means you can live in your apartment for as long as you wish, with no fixed maximum term.
*At least one person aged 65 or over must live in the apartment.
