New lease on life?

Article Abstract:

It is becoming increasingly common in the UK for elderly people to move to sheltered accommodation. Such accommodation is purchased on a long lease, with a landlord owning the buildings and grounds and a management company taking responsibility for day-to-day services. Residents can find that charges for services such as cleaning and the provision of a warden are very high. Before purchasing a sheltered home, it is wise to talk to existing residents about whether they are happy with the service they receive and to ensure that a solicitor checks the lease in detail.
