We are the UK’s leading developer and manager of retirement communities, offering high quality age-exclusive retirement properties to more than 20,000 homeowners across the UK. For all communities opened since 2010 we remain landlord and managing agent, looking after the wellbeing of our homeowners and managing our properties. We believe that life in older age is something to be enjoyed and celebrated, and our developments offer a welcoming sense of community and a diverse range of facilities and services to enhance everyday life. Our customers are at the heart of what we do and we are proud to have been awarded the Home Builders Federation 5-star customer satisfaction award every year we have taken part in the survey.

My wife and I have lived at Hampson Court, Hazel Grove (Retirement Living) since the development was opened in 2020. It has proved to be the right choice for us, Hampson Court consists of 41 apartments and is a lovely community with a great bunch of people. We have a fabulous caring House Manager, a small but delightful Guest Suite that is well appointed. The apartment has all modern comforts and is safe and secure which is important as we age. We have read many comments on various social media expressing various comments positive and negative but we can only speak as we find. Sadly, in my view, management take too much notice of on line reviews and perhaps a better measure of customer satisfaction for large business is a concise short confidential questionnaire for each homeowner to complete, seal and return via each House manager which could be used to gauge customer satisfaction as well as perhaps subjects such as staff (local and regional) performance.
Following on from McCarthy Stone reply to my review I would add that of the 41 apartments here, only around 40% of homeowners are computer users so using web based comments to accurately base opinions is totally misleading. Survey people properly to obtain accurate opinions.

Here at Jameson Gate in Edinburgh, we are a very happy and friendly community.
Our local facilities are excellent....there is a supermarket next door, a bus stop a few meters away, a promenade a short walk away and lots of independent shops all along Portobello High street.
Internally our building is bright and modern, having recently had a fresh makeover, with a guiding hand from our wonderful House Manager Nick.....who spends much appreciated time, researching ways to make the building look its best.
It is a lovely area to live in and retire to.

Visited a family member at Hilltree Court and had a lovely experience. The development was beautiful, clean and welcoming, and the atmosphere was really pleasant. Everything was well looked after, and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend!

Hilltree Court Giffnock is something else. I’ve never seen my mum look so happy, she’s made new friends to have coffee with, and moving her in and going through the process was made so easy! Highly recommend

Antwoord van McCarthy & Stone
Whoever designed these flats was too young and inexperienced. There are areas where it would be more "Old People User Friendly"
The front doors are too heavy. I know they are Fire Doors but they can be more light weight.
The washing machines are too complicated, also the heating.

I've lived in a McCarthy & Stone apt for 16 years at Dilkusha Court, Hayling Island for 6 years & 10 at Folland Court. I love the friendships, the days out, the celebrations at Christmas dinners, friends birthday celebrations the looking after each other. The brilliant House Manager Julie Binstead. Most of all I love the feeling of being safe & secure. Also the cleanliness of the building you are never alone, only when you want t be. The service charge is a way of life as it would be if I was resided on my own outside of this super development.

We recently moved into a flat in Jameson Gate Portobello, the House Manager Nick Aitchison was courteous and very helpful during the whole process. We are extremely happy and confident we will settle in perfectly.

Antwoord van McCarthy & Stone
I am very happy with my apartment and they seem to sell quickly... .....HOWEVER we are being bullied into a facilities management contract, which includes the cleaning.
We will probably lose our faithful cleaner. She is more than a cleaner to us, she part and parcel of our community. The potential loss has created upset, stress and bad feelings.
The majority of the homeowners are 80s and 90s they do not want this upset at this time of life.
MCCARTHY AND STONE DO NOT.....DONOT REMOVE THIS POST.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE. THE GOOD WITH THE BAD
We are Flora Grange, at Stannington.

I have been here over a year, and am very impressed with the management, the community facilities, the site of the flats. We have an excellent bus service in Edinburgh, past our door. Also good shops within walking distance.
My flat is warm, light and plenty of room for one person. Guest facility beautifully maintained. Our manager is always helpful., I think goes beyond his remit,in helpfulness and encouragement.

MS replied to my post of yesterday and this is my reply:
Whilst I have never been a Leaseholder of a MS retirement apartment, I do have first hand experience to support my original post. 14 years ago my best friends parents moved into a new MS retirement apartment. After 5 years, the annual service charge was increasing every year at a more than expected amount and, now, after 14 years, the service charge is 9,400pa., increasing every year. They are both aged 80 and now realise the financial nightmare that their children/beneficiaries will have to cope with, once the apartment becomes vacant.
Many true life stories have been published in The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and The Times regarding the appalling resale values that the beneficiaries face when trying to sell the Lease. The Guardian article published a story in October 2019, where a son inherited his Dad's Lease. In 2007, Dad paid 161,950 for the Lease, over a 2 year period from 2017 to 2019, the son only received one offer and that was a cash offer of 28,000 so, over a 12 year period, the Lease showed a LOSS of 133,950 pounds.
Since the early 2000s, MS have continually built blocks of purpose built retirement apartments, which I feel has now created the very negative situation that beneficiaries find themselves in. In East Sussex, MS are currently building a new block of retirement apartments, yet a very short distance away, there is a block of 45 apartments, where 19 are unoccupied.
My daughter lives in Liphook, Hampshire, where a MS estate of apartments are currently being built. On the front of the hoarding, a advert states that MS are now offering - shared ownership - as a option when buying the Lease.
Now, shared ownership is a very misleading term and a total myth because, as it's impossible to buy/own a individual apartment, even if the Leaseholder increases their share to 100%, there will never be any form of ownership of the apartment, as they will just be a Leaseholder for as long as they remain in the apartment.
I understand that Leases for SO purpose built retirement apartments are now proving more problematic to sell that the current situation when trying to sell a "standard"
Lease for a retirement apartment.
In a short space of time from now, I can see Leases that are currently up for sale for 45/50/60,000 pounds and
annual service charges in excess of 8,000 pounds, will have a sale market value of ZERO.

Although my Mum’s experience as a resident in a Retirement Plus development was really positive, we are now trying to sell her flat as she has had to move to a care home. This is proving very difficult. Meanwhile we are stuck with management fees which McCarthy & Stone won’t reduce. The company needs to take a serious look at the business model and provide a repurchase route, stop building new developments in areas where empty flats aren’t selling, and reduce service charges on empty properties. They sell a lifestyle of thriving communities but these communities will gradually disappear as relatives are unable to sell empty flats.

Antwoord van McCarthy & Stone
My mother moved into Cross Penny Court last year and it's very comforting to know that there is always someone there to help her 24/7. Wendy Dark and all the staff there are very caring and have taken the time to get to know Mum. She has had a couple of falls while being there and both Wendy and Carol could not have been more helpful. it is a very friendly environment and I'm always welcomed when visiting. What is especially good is that if the staff have not seen a resident during the day, they will telephone them to ensure all is well. Also if a resident is not wanting to go down for lunch for any reason, the staff are happy to take it to their room.
Thank you all.
