More people are reaching retirement age and considering whether a bespoke retirement property fits their needs.

It’s always a big step for a client to move, but there are additional issues for the practitioner working on behalf of a client buying a retirement property. 

Our speakers discuss: 

  • the different considerations depending on whether the client is buying a new build or resale.

  • demands of the contract particularly on age requirements and ongoing fee obligations.  

  • the differences between properties and services e.g. what assisted living facilities would provide. 

  • client lifestyle issues such as mental capacity and family involvement. 

 

Speakers:

  • Sarah Cookson, Director and Head of Conveyancing, Switalskis Solicitors 
  • Nick Dell, Head of Legal, McCarthy Stone
