I just want warn everyone about the huge depreciation of their retirement living plus properties and the increased probability that it will never sell. The service charges are exponential and these continue forever until your estate is completely gone

Risposta di McCarthy & Stone
My 100 year mother owns a flat in a block where over one-third of the flats are now empty. She has had to move into a care home and we are left in the nightmare situation of paying full service charges on an empty flat and the care home costs. I contacted McCarthy Stone resales team in August and asked them to market the flat. They agreed but have since ignored my chaser emails. I have been aware that their resales team is next to useless and now I have first hand experience. It is now with a Iocal estate agent for £100,000 less than she bought it for in 2019. Thankfully she knows nothing of this horrendous situation.
My advice to anyone thinking of doing any kind of business with this company is do NOT do it and I say this because their service charges increase annually despite what they say, they rapidly lose interest in you once you have signed your life away and you will leave your inheritors with an absolute nightmare. If I could give no stars I would have done.

Please watch the Parliament TV adjournment debate (8/9/26) on retirement development management companies - regulation. McCarthy & Stone are evil vultures who prey on vulnerable elderly people. The company has no moral compass. Its business model is designed to steal the hard earned life savings of families. I cannot put into words how much I hate McCarthy Stone and everything it stands for. It’s ruining my life as an innocent inheritor and that of thousands of others. Shameful.
EDIT after reading McCarthy Stone's reply to me and others: I am sick of reading "Sorry blah blah blah". McCarthy Stone is not sorry at all. I don't know how anyone can work for this company and uphold their values. All responses are complete nonsense. Corporate guff. You do not care about the effect your thieving business model has on the lives of beneficiaries who inherit one of your properties. Change your business model. Offer buy back and stop ripping off estates buy charging for services that deceased people cannot use, like a 24 hour dwelling monitoring charged by occupied flat (which you deny) and restaurant services a dead person cannot eat.

Many of you will have seen the documentary on ITV Tonight: Buyers Beware where McCarthy & Stone are brought under scrutiny and there will always be two perspectives! Mine believes that it did not scratch the surface of their manipulative, deceitful, over inflated extortionate costs. My advice would be to any prospective buyers is to do your research use your own solicitor and do not take their offer of money off to use their recommendation and be very aware that when you pass away you will be leaving a heavy burden on to your loved ones and very little inheritance and for those of us who wish to sell it is a nightmare! McCarthy & Stones reply to the documentary is their usual generic response.
McCarthy can you then justify why our apartments have no communal living areas, no gardens (mostly a car park) and our service charges have risen to almost 50% in six years with no additional services and that we are constantly in deficit having to pay more on top with electric gates not working consistently in that time, balconies that are not fit for purpose, air source heat pumps not maintained by affiliated engineers costing us to repair and replace parts that should have been under guarantee, selling the freehold to an offshore company without notifying us first, the list is endless and there is no transparency with your service charges when constantly asking you for evidence/receipts and breakdowns they are never provided, having to pay crippling service charges when the occupant has passed away, property depreciating when surrounding flats are selling at an increase when offering less, your business module needs changing to look after leaseholders not fleece them at a vulnerable age! And yes I have proof of all of the above and first hand experience

Very nice development and the guest room was very nice

Our experience with McCarthy Stone was dreadful. It took us three years to sell my late mother’s apartment, which had been completely empty since June 2023. Despite the property being unoccupied, the service charges and lease charges continued to mount up, and we eventually had to sell at a substantial loss.
The whole experience was incredibly stressful, costly and upsetting at an already difficult time for our family. What made matters worse was the lack of empathy and understanding shown throughout the process. It felt as though nobody appreciated the financial and emotional strain this was putting us through.
Three years is an unacceptable length of time to have to deal with this situation, with costs continuing to accumulate while we struggled to sell the property.
I would strongly advise anyone considering buying a McCarthy Stone retirement property to think very carefully and fully understand the ongoing financial commitments before making a decision. I wish we had known beforehand just how difficult and costly things could become.

I moved into a second floor two bedroom apartment in Folland Ct. In 2018. This was a direct sale from McCarthy Stone. As a single occupant the second bedroom serves as a “Dining Room” although not used regularly for that purpose. The building is extremely well insulated and during my time here I have never needed the underfloor electric heating to be turned on. We currently have a House Manager, Julie Binstead who in my view is one of the best. She organises social events, deals with day to day residents problems and liases with local contractors. My only criticism is at head office level, where lack of control of service charges are causing increases which I personally consider as excessive.

Stayed at the Woodhall Spa in the guest suite. The room was spotless and plenty of space. Keith was so helpful and everyone was very friendly. I always enjoy my stays there.

My sister and I stayed in the guest room in Freeman's House in Keepers Close in Canterbury where we visited our brother. The twin room was very clean, and the beds were very comfortable and we had clean towels and toiletries available. We also had a kettle in the room, and everything necessary to make tea or coffee. We were also provided with biscuits. There was also a small refrigerator which we didn't use. The shower was also easy to manage. It was very convenient for us to be able to visit our brother and be near him during our stay.

Big thank you to Melanie and all the staff at Saxon Gardens for making the move there so easy. Always ready to help with practical support and a big smile.

My father lived at Cross Penny Court for two very happy years. The staff are always welcoming and responsive, and we are so grateful for the thoughtfulness and warmth shown to our family.
A special mention must go to the senior manager, Wendy Dark, whose personal approach makes such a difference. She takes a genuine interest in getting to know residents and their families, and is always approachable and ready to help resolve any questions or concerns. Her care and positive attitude is reassuring and greatly appreciated.
It is wonderful to know that your relative can enjoy independent living while having a friendly, caring team nearby and a welcoming community around them.

My father lived at Hilltree Court, Giffnock for 11 years. In his ladt few years he integrated fully into the facilties including lunch,film afternoons, fish evenings, coffee mornings, quizzes, entertainment afternoons and more. As he became more frail in the last couple of years the staff went over and above to support him. He had nothing but praise for Claire and her team. Nothing was too much trouble. He spent the last 2 weeks of his life back in his flat surrounded by the care and love of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. I am indebted to them

I needed care after a fall. Merton Place sent two care workers.
Alice was very efficient and thorough. She was a pleasant and helpful worker. I felt very safe in her care and can recommend her whole heartedly.
Katie came more often. She is a bubbly, caring worker. Nothing is too much trouble for Katie. She was like a breath of fresh air every time she arrived. Anyone who employs her will be very lucky indeed.

When my Dad brought his apartment I asked if he had to go into care how easy would it be to sell the apartment. We were told nearly all apartments go up in price. And we have a specialist resale department to make this easy. Two years later having reduced the price by £100k it still has not sold. The Mccarthy and Stone resale department don’t bother to contact us unless I contact them. Mccarthy and stone are building new developments in the area despite many apartments that are in their developments remaining on their resale site unsold. Buyer beware what their salespeople tell you.
I have edited this after the response. Apart from booking viewings the last one was when exactly ? Also when we do have viewings you never manage to obtain any feedback! Also any contact re market conditions is when I phone you, when did you last contact me to discuss things ????

Would just like to say I visited Miller Place today and was greeted by the House Manager Aimee Scullion, what a gem she is.
I have been visiting McCarthy & Stone sites all around the country and rarely meet someone as good and professional as Aimee. Credit to your company.

Our father lived at Marina Court in Newquay for 8 years and had a happy time there. He enjoyed using the shared lounge area for the first few years he lived there and I think the sense of community he found there was really beneficial to him. Due to ill health in his last few years at the flat he couldn’t get out a lot but the lovely warden Abi would often check in on dad when we weren’t able to, which was a comfort for us and him. The flat was a good size and nicely finished. As a family we are really glad he had the opportunity to live there

Our McMillan coffee morning here at Merchants Gate on the 24th September was not only a huge success financially, raising a wopping £365, but socially too.
Apart from the usual chat and laughter our wonderful house manager, Kate Hodder, had us playing "Play Your Cards Right" which had us all totally engaged.
A truly successful morning.

Emma (manager at Jackson Place Alcester) has been a delight to interact with from day one. She is engaging, friendly and professional. She provides a great level of support for owners and their families throughout the year. Highly recommend.
