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.
Thame is a quintessential English market town in Oxfordshire, with a broad, historic high street of independent and individual shops. Award-winning butchers, bakers, and delicatessens, a weekly market, and attractive period buildings give it real character, making it a delightful place in which to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the countryside of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire border, with its footpaths and pretty villages is close at hand. Oxford, Aylesbury, and the Chilterns are a short drive away, and good road links make wider days out easy to arrange.
Local highlights
Thame has a long history as a market town, and the weekly Tuesday market remains a focal point of local life. A friendly, practical market of fresh produce, plants, and household goods, it is a sociable place to shop and catch up with neighbours.
The medieval St Mary's Church, set in quiet grounds near the old grammar school, is among Thame's finest buildings. A gentle wander through the surrounding lanes, with their timber-framed and Georgian frontages, offers an easy way to enjoy the town's rich history.
A short drive away, Waterperry Gardens offers eight acres of ornamental gardens, an orchard, and a plant nursery, with a teashop and gallery. Level paths and beautiful planting make it an easy and rewarding place for a gentle afternoon among the flowers.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“From the moment Churchill approached me on the phone initially, I felt very positive in the way things were handled. At the beginning of the buying process I had a nice, charming Sales Executive who was not at all pushy. The Churchill team were very good and efficient throughout the process of buying and moving into my apartment. I felt that I could easily approach them if I had any doubts or queries.”
“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!”
