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.
Spitfire Lodge is situated in a lively suburb of Southampton, with a high street of familiar names and independent traders, a library, and a post office close by. Plenty of places to eat and drink, green spaces nearby, and easy access to the city make it a convenient and comfortable place to enjoy retirement.
The River Itchen and Riverside Park offer level green walks close by, while Southampton Common provides open parkland. The city centre, the waterfront, and the New Forest are all within easy reach for shopping, culture, and wider days out.
Local highlights
A short distance away, Southampton Common is a large area of open parkland, woodland, and ponds crossed by gentle paths. A café, an ornamental lake, and abundant wildlife make it an easy place for fresh air and a relaxed walk within the city.
The high street is the practical heart of the suburb, with supermarkets, a library, a post office, and a good mix of independent shops and cafés. Level and walkable, it is an easy place to run everyday errands and meet friends for a relaxed coffee.
Southampton offers the shops of West Quay, the SeaCity Museum, and the historic old town walls. Level streets, waterfront parks, and open-top tours make it an easy and interesting day out into the city's maritime past.
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.”
“We’re enjoying the comfort and security. There’s no more hassle, I don’t have any worries about maintaining my old house and looking after the garden. Swanley is very well connected with plenty of good shops and services, and we have everything we need on our doorstep. The train station is close by too, so it’s easy to get out and about if we want to go further.”
