Developer Birchgrove claims retirees drawn to renting

Birchgrove's self-contained apartments are designed for people in later life.

Features such as wide doors and corridors, integrated kitchen appliances at waist height, and step-free en-suite showers are included for ease of use.

Residents also have access to a range of exclusive on-site amenities, including a restaurant, licensed bar, club room, wellness suite, landscaped gardens, and a communal terrace.

Regular events and activities, including hobby groups, are designed to foster a friendly community lifestyle.

A concierge and 24-hour staff are also present at Birchgrove's retirement apartments.

The developer says that its business model is built on the belief that the current housing market lacks suitable options for over-65s who do not wish to manage another house purchase.

The appeal of renting among retirees is growing, says Birchgrove, as retirees choose to invest their wealth in ways that benefit their quality of life, rather than spending it on the maintenance and repair of a home.

Birchgrove's high-quality self-contained apartments are designed for people in later life.

Each apartment is individually designed to maximise space and light and has the Birchgrove trademark of high-quality finishes, so that the apartments are distinctly elegant—with details such as wide doors and corridors for freedom of movement and access, integrated appliances at waist height for ease of use in the fully fitted kitchens, and step-free en-suite showers.

Birchgrove is expanding its portfolio of retirement communities across various locations in London, Kent, and Surrey.
