How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
Now is the time to take stock and think about how much time and money you have spent over the past year on house maintenance. If the answer is far too much, then a lifestyle with fewer maintenance worries and a service charge that’s easy to budget for could be the answer to saving money and enjoying more of your time on the things you love.
There are many misconceptions about service charges and many of our Owners are pleasantly surprised that the service charges for their apartment frequently work out less than what they were paying in comparable costs on their previous property.
Our Service Charge typically covers the cost of providing a Lodge Manager, security systems and call monitoring, external maintenance of the building and grounds, building insurance, heating, lighting and provision of all of the furnishings for the Owners’ Lounge and communal areas – all essential ingredients of the independent lifestyle our developments provide.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Owners to consider, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
We appreciate everyone’s household costs will differ which is why we encourage Customers to complete a ‘Savings Calculator’ with one of our Sales Executives. This calculator is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the value in our easy to budget Service Charge.

Many apartment Owners are old enough to remember the war years from their childhood, but 98-year-old Peggy Abbotts from Spitfire Lodge in Portswood is one of the few to have been a serving member of the armed forces at the time!
As well as a sociable, independent lifestyle and no more worries about maintenance, one of the key benefits for apartment Owners at Churchill’s new Spitfire Lodge development in Portswood is the development’s special Wellbeing Suite. This well-equipped and totally free facility means they can enjoy health and beauty treatments at any time without even having to step outdoors, which is particularly welcome at this time of year as the weather turns colder.
We have announced the name of our brand new development in Portswood, Southampton! This development will be opening very soon.
Testimonials
Tony & Barbara Brocklebank
“Everyone on the Churchill team has been so helpful throughout the move, we’re very pleased we came here. Our old house was lovely but it had an enormous garden with a very steep slope, and we just didn’t need the hassle of keeping on top of it any longer."
Mr & Mrs Yendall
“The retirement living lifestyle is great, at times it’s like being on a permanent holiday – I’d recommend it to anyone! We are both very independent and don’t feel that we need any help, but being here is great. Every detail is spot on
Ken & Val Ford
“The service charge is very reasonable considering all the things it pays for, we get very good value for money and we can afford it because we downsized from a four bedroom house. The building and everything in it is excellent quality, it’s all kept clean and tidy and well maintained. Plus we’re well looked after by the lovely Churchill staff.”
John & Maureen
“When planning our move, we didn’t really consider the community aspect of living here as we’re quite independent people. However since moving in it’s been so nice and comforting to feel part of the Spitfire Lodge family. Everyone has been so welcoming and friendly and we have people around us who we can call on if we ever need anything, not just now but in the future.”
