How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:

Now is the time to take stock and think about how much time and money you have spent over the past year on house maintenance. If the answer is far too much, then a lifestyle with fewer maintenance worries and a service charge that’s easy to budget for could be the answer to saving money and enjoying more of your time on the things you love.

There are many misconceptions about service charges and many of our Owners are pleasantly surprised that the service charges for their apartment frequently work out less than what they were paying in comparable costs on their previous property.

Our Service Charge typically covers the cost of providing a Lodge Manager, security systems and call monitoring, external maintenance of the building and grounds, building insurance, heating, lighting and provision of all of the furnishings for the Owners’ Lounge and communal areas โ€“ all essential ingredients of the independent lifestyle our developments provide.

We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Owners to consider, consulting with them on this every 6 months.

“Living in a Churchill Apartment is absolutely marvellous. The whole building is so nice and warm all the time that weโ€™ve hardly had to use the heating inside our apartment. When we do turn it up a notch or two itโ€™s nice to know we donโ€™t have to worry about the cost or the environmental impact, as itโ€™s all so energy efficient and covered within our annual service charge.”

John and Doreen Pitt, Lewis Carroll Lodge, Cheltenham

We appreciate everyoneโ€™s household costs will differ which is why we encourage Customers to complete a โ€˜Savings Calculatorโ€™ with one of our Sales Executives. This calculator is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the value in our easy to budget Service Charge.

Testimonials

Jean Knight

โ€œThis is such a lovely place to live. Everyone is so helpful, the move was easy and any problems sorted out. There are many events and things to do, I have made many friends and I am so, so thankful I moved here.โ€

Dennis Knowles

โ€œWe chose a one bedroom apartment overlooking the beautiful gardens and Jo organised everything with effortless ease and no stress on us. The Lodge Manager Gill was equally professional and so helpful. The whole process took about 8 or 9 weeks from start to finish and we moved in on 10th September. It could not have gone any better!โ€
