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.
Aldridge is a thriving town near Walsall in the West Midlands, with well-known high street names and independent shops, cafés, and eateries within walking distance. A library, community centre, post office, and everyday services are all close by, making it a sociable and convenient place to retire.
Beyond the town, Walsall Arboretum offers gardens and green space a short drive away, while the Fairlawns Hotel and Spa sits in landscaped grounds nearby. Good road links reach Birmingham for the Bull Ring and Grand Central, and the surrounding countryside adds quiet walks close by.
Local highlights
Aldridge Transport Museum, a short distance from The Green, is a volunteer-run charity hosting a collection of vintage buses and commercial vehicles. Friendly enthusiasts share the stories behind them, and with level access and seating it makes an unhurried, distinctive outing for anyone with an interest in local history.
Leigh's Wood Local Nature Reserve, close to The Green, is a small, semi-wooded haven for birds, plants, and insects. Its shaded paths suit short, gentle walks and quiet birdsong, and nearby woods at Hay Head and Longwood extend the choice of easy countryside strolls.
Fairlawns Hotel and Spa sits in nearly 12 acres of landscaped grounds close to Aldridge, offering spa treatments, a pool, and fitness facilities. It also serves afternoon tea and meals, making a relaxed, restful treat without having to travel far from town.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“When moving to Bond Lodge I received fantastic support from Churchill throughout the moving process, especially from my specialist downsizing adviser Karen. I brought 104 boxes with me, and thanks to her help they were all unpacked in a day!”
“My friend had moved here and I used to come and visit her quite a lot. I got to like the way it was run and the whole feel of the place. I didn't think I'd be able to move, but the rental option made it possible and it's worked out really well!”
