We first came across Audley Retirement - a swanky version of the McCarthy & Stone whom we have here in Epsom, opposite my dentist and handy for town centre - last March, and noticed at reference 1. Or rather they came across us by pushing a flyer through our letter box. This lunchtime we had another exclusive offer from them: a modest £800,000 plus sundries plus (probably variable) annual service charge for a two bedroom flat in Cobham, a few yards from the A3. It appears to be no more than a building site in Google satellite view, but to be fair to them, the houses round about look pretty expensive.
A proposition I find puzzling. Why would I swap a house which is convenient for Epsom and what it has to offer for a flat in the middle of nowhere? Why would I not go to the much cheaper and more convenient McCarthy & Stone and collect half the dosh? Or the new Abbeyfield village in Ewell? I am clearly not made of the right stuff as otherwise I would have a better grasp of what it is that they at.
But not so puzzling that we will take up their offer of a free mince pie and a £30 voucher from John Lewis if we turn up for a sales pitch.
