Spring - Make Your Move

As we get older, life can start to feel a little quieter…but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Our customer Jennifer saw this happen to her Nan after losing her Grandad. What started as a difficult change turned into a new beginning.

From feeling isolated to rediscovering connection, confidence, and joy. Jennifer’s Nan is embracing this new chapter and loving every minute of it.

Retirement living communities aren't about losing independence - it’s about living well, trying new things, and being surrounded by people who get you.

We are incredibly grateful to our wonderful customers who take the time to leave a review and share their home-selling experience with us.

Thanks to ACM for our latest review, sharing their downsizing journey of moving their 89-year-old mother into a apartment.

We know part-exchange is not the right option for every homeowner, but for those and sellers who want to reduce stress, prioritise speed, and need a guaranteed completion, it can be the ideal solution.

"Having recently experienced the hassle and stress of trying to sell her house and losing the property she wanted, my mother took her house off the market and had resigned herself to having to stay in a property that was too large for her. She then looked into McCarthy Stone retirement properties and discovered the Spring part exchange scheme and is now happily settled in her flat. The first offer from Spring was too low to make the move viable, but she was advised to negotiate and a slightly better price was agreed. My mother could have held out for a higher price on the open market but she would still be trying to sell her house to date and would have the lost the flat she wanted. My mother was able to move in within weeks of having her offer accepted without the uncertainty of a chain. The fact that she was able to have access to her house after completion date meant that she could move into her new flat on a day and time that suited her and was able to make sure she had everything she needed before the house was cleared. Obviously she still had to go through the conveyancing and legal processes but Rebecca and Simon at Spring were always happy to help with any issues and questions I had and Simon ensured that the completion date worked for us and kept me informed on progress. Downsizing and moving was always going to be a stressful time for my 89 year old mother but Spring helped keep the stress to a minimum over a much shorter period of time.
My mother is so relaxed and happy in her new flat that we both agree that selling with Spring was the best decision and worth the money lost in comparison to the estate agents valuation."
