How to purchase

The process begins when you contact us to register your interest. You then have a couple of options available depending on your current circumstances:

Mailing list - Register your details and join our mailing list so we can send you our email newsletters to keep you up to date with what’s going on across our retirement villages.

Allocations Shortlist - Joining our allocations shortlist gives you priority information on suitable properties as they become available. Whilst you can join this list at any time, we would recommend doing so if you are looking to move within the next 6 to 12 months.

If you would like to move within 6 to 12 months:

1. Join the Allocations Shortlist - Contact the Sales Team on 0117 949 4257 or email sales.team@stmonicatrust.org.uk to join the shortlist.
2. The Allocations Shortlist - While you wait for a property that matches your needs to become available, you will receive regular invitations to events at the village. This will help you get to know other residents and the on-site team.
3. Apartment becomes available - We will review the Allocations Shortlist and invite those with the best match to view the property.
4. Express interest - If you think the property is right for you, you can express an interest. The village manager will meet with all prospective residents who express interest and make a final decision about who will be offered the apartment.
5. OFFER Congratulations! You can now begin the process of reserving the property. If no offer this time, we will contact you again when other suitable properties become available.
6. Reservation - We will now ask you to complete a form and pay the £2,000 reservation deposit. This secures the property in your name for a three month reservation period. If you cancel within the first 14 days, the deposit will be repaid in full. After that time you will be liable for the Trust’s reasonable net costs up to a maximum of the £2,000 deposit.

If you’re not ready to move:

1. Stay on our mailing list - We will keep in touch, but you won’t be specifically notified of available properties.
2. When you are looking to move - Join the allocation shortlist. Contact the sales team and we will add you to the shortlist as quickly as possible.
