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.
Kings Norton is a village on the southern edge of Birmingham, offering the best of both worlds: a peaceful village feel whilst still having the city close at hand. With a rich history, a choice of shops, cafés, amenities, and green spaces nearby, it is a comfortable place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the village, the Worcester and Birmingham Canal offers level towpath walks, while the Lickey Hills and Worcestershire countryside are a short drive away. Birmingham city centre, with its shopping, museums, and theatres, is only a short train or tram ride away.
Local highlights
Kings Norton Park is a popular green space close by, with open lawns, mature trees and well-kept paths. Benches, gentle routes, and a relaxed atmosphere make it an easy place for a stroll, a picnic, or meeting friends without travelling far.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal passes close to the village, its level towpath offering easy walking beside the water. Narrowboats, bridges, and the nearby junction with the Stratford Canal add interest to a quiet, traffic-free stroll or a steady cycle.
A short journey away, Birmingham offers world-class museums, galleries, and shopping, along with the restaurants and canal side bars of Brindley place. Level city streets and good public transport make it an easy and interesting day out whenever you fancy a change of scene.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I was very pleased to hear that pets are allowed at the Lodge, as there’s no way I would have moved without Milo. He loves it here too, and we’re in the ideal location for walks in the park or along the high street. He’s 13 years old so we don’t go too far these days to save his legs – and mine! It’s great to be right in the heart of town close to everything we need.”
“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!”
