In response to the rise in the cost of living retirement operator Rangeford Villages has launched a cost-saving initiative to new homebuyers
The initiative offers buyers a helping hand paying energy bills over a four-year period.
“Our residents’ financial stability and independence remain a priority and we are constantly evaluating how we can assist in these difficult times,” said Rangeford Chief Executive Howard Nankivell.
“With this in mind, we’ve introduced an initiative, which aims to take away the burden of incoming buyers household bills for the first four years*, to enable them peace of mind, and to be able to focus on enjoying their retirement, and we are already seeing lots of interest as a result.”
Properties at Rangeford Villages’ four communities are built to be energy efficient.
They include underfloor heating, double-glazed picture windows and an all-electric energy system to help lower bills and reduce environmental impact.
Electric car charging points are available at all villages, and other cost-saving initiatives such as pool cars, and communal transport.
Online research conducted by Opinium on behalf of Age UK (January 2022) found that over 75 per cent of over 65s are worried about the rising cost of living, with 54 per cent of those surveyed saying they would have to heat their homes less, and a staggering 43 per cent admitting they would have to either cut back, go into debt, or simply not be able to afford their bills.
