Retirement Living
At Foster & Payne it is our goal to provide independent retirement living for those over 55 who want to enjoy their retirement while still leading an active, independent lifestyle.
We take care to ensure our developments are well-located, close to the local shops, near the town centre and within easy reach of all the essential amenities including local transport.
We provide modern, spacious flats and bungalows with all maintenance aspects undertaken by the community.
A communal environment created for like individuals with shared facilities. This is not care home living, but the apartments are all care-ready meaning that carer visits can be arranged and it is not usually necessary to move to a care home.
Our age restricted communities are made up of 1 and 2 bed apartments of mixed tenure.
The shared common facilities include:
- On site manager four mornings a week
- Owners lounge
- Accessible toilet
- Lifts to higher floors
- Communal landscaped gardens
- Allocated and visitor parking
- Organised community events including drinks and picnics
- Security provided by electric gates and CCTV
- Video entry system and communal lighting
We pride ourselves on the excellent long term relationships we have built with our residents.
Environmental Impact
Apartments are designed to reduce environmental impact, through modern insulation and double glazing. EPCs are either B or C. Better for the environment and significantly lower heating bills for our residents.
Retirement Living Costs
Purchasing
Unlike many in the industry we have no hidden costs when selling or transferring ownership. These costs can run into thousands of pounds. When properties occasionally become available to buy, prices are reasonable with good resale values.
Renting
Rental costs are deliberately kept as competitive as possible to ensure our residents can remain with us for the maximum amount of time. Maintenance costs are also kept as low as possible.
There are no charges for tenancy renewals.
