When making your application, you will be asked to think about a few areas you would like to move to. Although our range of available properties changes relatively frequently, we cannot guarantee that we will have a particular type of property available in your preferred area at just the right time. The more flexible you can be about location, the more choices you will have.
We will also ask you about any health, mobility, or disability needs you may have, so we can understand if certain properties might be more suitable for your needs than others. We will also consider whether other specialist providers may be better placed to meet your needs.
Please note that you will need permission from your Bishop or Archdeacon if you want to stay within your current parish.
Finding a rental property
Available Church Retirement Living properties, whether a rental home or a flat in one of our Community Living schemes, are advertised regularly through our online housing bulletin.
You can express an interest in any property on the bulletin that may be right for you. We then look at all expressions of interest and shortlist these before offering viewings.
Should more than one customer express an interest in the same property, the customer with the highest priority will view the property first. If, after a viewing, you think you have found your home, you can reserve it for your retirement, up to five years before you retire.
Finding a property through the bulletin is the quickest and surest route to securing a property with us. It is important to look at the properties on offer carefully and to be as flexible as you can with what might work for you. Being flexible with property size, layout, and even location will help ensure that you find the best retirement home for you in time for your retirement.
