Rightsizing
Moving from a family home can be daunting but rightsizing to a purpose-built apartment can have a range of advantages. If you no longer need the space, rightsizing means you can release capital and have more money to enjoy living in later life. Added to this, it’s a great way to reduce utility bills, council tax and the cost of maintaining a larger property. Perhaps most importantly, moving and becoming part of a community offers more opportunities to make friends, socialise and have the peace of mind that help is there when you need it.

Pemberley Place anchors the new community of Ensleigh, acting as the focal point and hub for a diverse, confident and thriving neighbourhood. Surrounded by countryside criss-crossed with stone walls, the area takes its name from the ‘sleight’ or summer sheep pasture, for which it was used from Saxon times until the early 20th century. The building’s striking, glazed tower entrance and welcoming foyer are an homage to novelist, art collector and traveller William Beckford’s famous Italianate Tower which is just across the road. Built in 1823 as the centrepiece of a continuous mile-long private retreat with gardens, plantations and rustic seats overlooking the Avon Valley, Beckford proclaimed it “the finest prospect in Europe.” And now this panorama is yours to appreciate every day. PERFECT LOCATION Be part of this exciting new neighbourhood in Lansdown, north of Bath city centre. It’s the perfect location to make the most of existing connections and enjoy meeting new neighbours and friends. See and feel the inspiration from Jane Austen’s 1813 novel Pride and Prejudice and the local landscape. The development, apartments, parades and terraces all take their names from famous characters and places (such as Fitzwilliam Darcy’s country estate, Pemberley) or local landmarks like William Beckford’s tower and ornamental gardens nearby.

SHARED OWNERSHIP
What is Shared Ownership? Shared Ownership with Anchor is designed to give you flexibility when buying one of our new apartments without having to fund the entire value of the property. You would purchase a percentage of the property ranging between 25% - 90%, depending on the type of development and then pay rent on the remaining unpurchased percentage. This allows you to free up capital from your current home to enjoy later life to the full. What percentage do I have to purchase? The majority of our Shared Ownership properties are available at either 25% - 90% shares. Where possible, on a case by case basis, you may be able to purchase between 25% - 90%, depending on the type of development. We advise you speak to one of our Senior Sales Consultants to help you understand what works best for you. How much is the rent? The rent is set when you purchase your property and is reviewed annually in line with the Retail Price Index (RPI) plus 0.5%. In instances where we offer affordable shared ownership, certain benefits may cover some or all of your rent payments. Am I the legal homeowner? Yes. You have the same legal rights as any other leasehold property sale, you just own a percentage of the property.
Who owns the percentage that I don’t? Anchor retains ownership of the unsold portion of the property. Anchor is the freeholder of the development and becomes your landlord, issuing an identical term lease to the purchased part of your new home. What happens if I want to sell my apartment? Selling your home is a straightforward process. We have an in-house Resales team to support homeowners and their families when they come to resell their apartment. The team has a unique understanding of retirement living, enabling us to communicate all the benefits clearly to prospective purchasers. We may already have a waiting list of interested parties so, as part of your lease, we have four weeks to nominate someone looking for a home like yours. Are there any other charges I need to be aware of? Service Charge This is payable by all residents and is a monthly charge to cover the ongoing costs of the development. Full details of what it covers can be found in our key facts document. Some elements may be covered by benefits that you receive. Rent You will be expected to pay rent on the share of the property you haven’t purchased. Deferred Sinking Fund This is a sum paid when selling your property and is built up over time to meet the cost of major repairs and refurbishment works. Typical household costs You will be required to pay for utilities, internet, contents insurance, council tax etc.
Is there someone I can speak to about my current financial situation? We would always advise that you seek your own financial advise when looking into making a purchase of this nature. What Anchor can offer though is support through our Be Wise service. Be Wise is in place to provide you with free and impartial advice, support and practical assistance on a range of topics to help you make the most of your money. What if I run out of money? We would always go through a financial suitability check to ensure that this purchase is the right one for you to begin with. If your circumstances change then you may become eligible for certain benefits which could cover the cost of rent/ service charge. Our Be Wise team are available to existing residents and would be happy to discuss your change in circumstances.
