How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
Now is the time to take stock and think about how much time and money you have spent over the past year on house maintenance. If the answer is far too much, then a lifestyle with fewer maintenance worries and a service charge that’s easy to budget for could be the answer to saving money and enjoying more of your time on the things you love.
There are many misconceptions about service charges and many of our Owners are pleasantly surprised that the service charges for their apartment frequently work out less than what they were paying in comparable costs on their previous property.
Our Service Charge typically covers the cost of providing a Lodge Manager, security systems and call monitoring, external maintenance of the building and grounds, building insurance, heating, lighting and provision of all of the furnishings for the Owners’ Lounge and communal areas – all essential ingredients of the independent lifestyle our developments provide.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Owners to consider, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
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.

“The train station is within walking distance of the Lodge. I recently took my bike on the train to Torquay (which is only an hour away) for a day out by the sea. I also spend time exploring the local area on my bike, visiting local villages"
“We used the Home Exchange service to sell our old house and it was very stress free process, Churchill did everything for us. Now we have stress free living with no pressure. The management of the development is great, we have a good programme of events each week that are not compulsory, but there if required. We have made lots of new friends, people from all walks of life, and everyone is very friendly."
"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."
“Everyone here has made the same decision to share the warmth of independent living, where we are part of a community but still with our own front door key so we can keep our own company. We also enjoy warmth from the friendly Lodge Manager with an ear that listens and helps whenever the need arises. And of course we enjoy the warmth of our new comfy, cosy apartment.
“Personally, I am very happy here. The Lodge Manager and other management staff are very pleasant and helpful. I especially like the feeling of calm and peacefulness as soon as you enter the building.”
"We have a Lodge Manager who is always available to answer any queries, as well as a beautiful Owners’ Lounge where we can all get together for tea and cakes or just to sit and chat with the other apartment Owners whenever we feel the need. There is always someone to chat to whenever you come down to the Lounge."
“I chose my apartment in Taunton, Somerset, because of the space it offered and the beautiful views. From my balcony, I watch the River Tone flow past and people can be seen canoeing. Across from the river I can also see a park with lovely mature trees and a grassed area which is nice for children to play on. To anyone else considering a move here I would say come and visit us, have a look around and see for yourself what a wonderful community we have here.”
