Retirement Apartments

What was the programme? I’m interested as my mother is in a retirement flat .
There’s a lot of negatives regarding selling them and the service fees . However my mother has been happy in hers . She’s been there 11 years and moved from a 4 bed detached house a long way from facilities, to a 2 bed ground floor flat with a patio . She’s a few minutes walk to a high street with everything she needs . She’s made friends , where previously she was isolated. It’s a gated development, so she feels safe and she had parking for when she drove .
We did look at normal flats in the area but heard that some are rented to the LA . At least with retirement flats , there’s no issues with noise or anti social behaviour.
So there are pros and cons .

I watched the prog. Last night.
Very sad state of affairs. Similar to park home sites where people buy luxury mobile homes or villas and then the site fees almost double. Totally wrong.

I wouldnt buy one, my mother had one, it took ages to sell, but the charges still applied which myself and brother were liable for. They are hard to sell. It was a real worry for us at the time.

What was it called?
I’d be interested in seeing that.

There are some really lovely ones recently built close to where I live. I visited them and was really impressed.
However the service charge was very high and there are restrictions when the time comes to sell.
I'm so pleased I decided not to go ahead.

Maybe a good idea to 'future proof' your present home if that's possible.
