Leave the worry of winter behind with a great deal from McCarthy & Stone

With the possibility of freezing weather just around the corner, people over 60 in Chester are being given the chance to leave the worries of winter behind them thanks to a number of incentives from McCarthy & Stone.

The leading retirement developer is hoping to ensure the winter months remain safe, warm, and hassle-free for anyone looking to purchase at Forest Court on Union Street, by offering to pay £4,000 towards moving costs, removing three years worth of management charges, providing two free interior design options, and paying for one year's worth of electricity bills on your behalf*.

What's more, McCarthy & Stone are so confident you'll be impressed with their retirement living offering that they're giving away a £15 Marks & Spencer voucher to anyone who visits Forest Court up to and including 30th March 2012.

McCarthy & Stone's Regional Sales and Marketing Director, Fiona Brooks, explains: "As energy bills continue to skyrocket, and with the unknown threat of having to deal with leaky roofs, blocked pipes and frozen pipes, the journey into the winter months signals a turbulent time for many over 60s. So if the prospect of another winter in an old home is worrying, then our winter incentive could help you.

"We believe that once people reach retirement, they should be able to relax and enjoy it, and not spend time worrying about things like heating, maintenance or security. Many prospective purchasers will want to move from larger second hand properties which are can be expensive to run, but Forest Court has been designed especially to cut these costs, and offer a more energy efficient environment in which to snuggle up and keep warm.

"All apartments at Forest Court have a range of energy saving features as standard, such as double glazed windows, cavity wall insulation and low energy light fittings. The entire complex has been developed with comfort in mind, so even in communal areas, there is no need to worry about feeling a chill."

With the thought of going outside and facing the icy streets preventing many retirees from living life to the full during winter, isolation can set in. No matter how sociable and confident a person might be, the cold could still force some to stay indoors. However, even if that is the case, McCarthy & Stone believes that there is no need to be all alone at all.

"With delightfully cosy residents' lounges in all our developments, there is never a reason for our residents to be alone if they don't want to be, as they can pop down at any time of day and find someone to have a chat with," concludes Fiona. "Each development runs a host of regular social events and coffee mornings for those who wish to attend, meaning no-one need ever be cut off from a friendly face or a helping hand.

"We would certainly invite anyone interested in finding out more about Retirement Living at Forest Court to come along to one of our developments and see for themselves how warm and wonderful winter could actually be."
