Even if you think you can’t afford to move to Lark Hill Village, we’re confident that our range of purchase options will change your mind.

Example: If you’re receiving a basic state pension, and your property is worth just £65,000, you may well find that our shared ownership option will make a beautiful apartment in the Village well within your grasp.

Properties are available to purchase, part purchase and rent.

Prices start from as little as £67.475 for a 50% share of a one bedroom apartment.

Purchase Options.
The options available to help you are:

  • Outright purchase
  • Shared ownership scheme

Outright Purchase. You pay the full purchase price outright and meet the standard amenity and service charges.

Shared Ownership. You buy a proportion of your property, then pay rental in proportion to your ownership. The rental element may be eligible for financial support through the welfare and benefits system. Amenity and service charges still apply and our specialist advisor will be on hand to advise you.

Should you want to sell your Village property.
If you decide to move out Lark Hill or you pass away, the equity in your Village home will be fully protected by our unconditional buy-back guarantee.

Future care costs.
At current estimates care costs can be as much as £25,000 a year for full residential nursing care. So it’s reassuring to know that you’ll never have to sell your Village home to pay for the care you may need.

At Lark Hill, your children’s inheritance is safe, even if you become frail and need a great deal of support and assistance.

Unlocking extra benefits
You could be entitled to financial benefits that could make it easier to move to Lark Hill.

The purchase or part purchase of your Village property, the amenity and service charges associated with running your home, and the provision of care and support – all may be eligible for support through the Benefits system.

Our on-site Benefits Advisors at Lark Hill have already unlocked over £100,000 in unclaimed benefits and helped one lady claim over £9,000 that she hadn’t realised was hers.

We’ll help you sell your present property.
We work closely with local solicitors, estate agents and local building societies. These firms are hand-picked for their local knowledge, expertise, service and value, and offer substantial discounts on their services for future Village residents. They can help to make your move run smoothly and efficiently.
