How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
We offer some of the lowest service charges in the retirement sector which is why many of our Residents are pleasantly surprised to find that the service charges work out lower than what they were paying, in comparable costs, on their previous home.
This is because the service charge combines a wide range of services and property-related expenses into a combined cost. Residents find they benefit from a more manageable and easier-to-budget lifestyle, without having to worry about unexpected maintenance bills.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Residents, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
The service charge covers:
- The cost of your dedicated Lodge Manager
- Security systems
- 24-hour Careline call monitoring system
- External maintenance of the building and grounds
- Heating & lighting of communal areas
- Provision of furnishings in communal areas
- Building insurance
Who is responsible for the management of the Lodge?
All developments are managed by Churchill Estates Management Limited, our own property management company, so you can be confident in the expertise of our team operating under the Churchill Group.
No exit fees, meaning no unexpected costs!
In 2025 we announced that Residents will no longer pay any exit fees when selling or subletting their apartments, making the process far more straightforward and hassle-free. Whilst many retirement housing providers still apply fees, we have set a new standard by abolishing them entirely - helping to provide greater peace of mind and making life simpler both for Residents and their families!
Calculating your savings...
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.
Shirley is a lively suburb in the heart of Solihull. With supermarkets, shops, and everyday amenities close by, along with green spaces and good transport links, it offers village-style convenience with the city on the doorstep, making it a comfortable place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the suburb, the parks and countryside of Solihull and Warwickshire are close at hand, while Birmingham and its shopping, museums, and theatres are a short journey away. Good road and rail links also make Stratford-upon-Avon and the wider region easy to reach for days out.
Local highlights
A short distance away, Solihull town centre offers the Touchwood shopping centre, cafés, and the green expanse of Tudor Grange Park. Level paths, open lawns, and a lake make the park an easy place for a gentle walk, with shopping and lunch close at hand.
A short drive away, Earlswood Lakes offer level, traffic-free paths around three reservoirs, with open water, woodland, and abundant birdlife. A café and gentle circuits make it a relaxed spot for fresh air and a leisurely stroll in the Warwickshire countryside.
Birmingham city centre, a short journey away, offers world-class museums, galleries, and shopping, along with the canalside restaurants of Brindleyplace. Historic Stratford-upon-Avon, with its Shakespeare connections and riverside, is also within easy reach for an interesting day out.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“Definitely do it. It is the best thing I have done. You have your own front door & can interact with the other residents as much or as little as you like. There is always help at hand if needed.”
“I feel as if I have a suite in a luxury hotel, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly whilst the surroundings are very tasteful and high quality. Churchill have been in this business long enough to know what they’re doing and it shows. I can’t praise them highly enough for what they do to make the move run as smoothly as possible. There is a significant uplift in quality and style at Clinton Lodge when compared to other options I considered before making the move.”
