What makes The Hawthorns different?

The Hawthorns is different from most retirement housing options in that we offer rented rather than purchased accommodation. Add to this the wide range of amenities available to all residents on site, especially the protection of the live-in management team and security pull cord system and you have a unique and highly desirable option for the independent retired.

No longer weighed down with the hassle and capital outlay of owning a property, our residents are free to enjoy their time, make new friends, learn new skills and hobbies and lead an independent and happy life

In renting you do not have all the issues and costs of buying, estate agents, solicitor’s fee, and the like. You can release your capital from your current property to enjoy your retirement; or rent out your current property to provide an income for you. And we only ask for 30 days notice if you wish to leave The Hawthorns.

Another unique aspect of The Hawthorns is the ability to change apartments if you find that the one you originally chose no longer suits your changing needs – at no cost and hassle free.

And another unique benefit is that you can stay up to 2 weeks in any other of The Hawthorns facilities in the UK and the US completely free of charge (subject to availability). A key benefit that many of our residents take full advantage of.

The Hawthorns provide a very low risk, high quality, many benefit option for retirement living.
