Service Charge

Life in an Inspired Villages retirement community is all about living well – staying connected, active, healthy, and happy in a place that feels like home. From beautifully maintained surroundings to a vibrant calendar of events, wellness facilities, and round-the-clock support, everything is thoughtfully designed to help you make the most of every day.

To ensure this exceptional lifestyle is always available to you, each resident contributes a monthly Service Charge. This covers not just the essentials, but also the extras that make life special – from housekeeping and wellbeing support to beautifully kept gardens and 24/7 peace of mind.

At Widmore Park you can be reassured by the certainty that your Service Charge will increase by no more and no less than 2.5% each year, for the length of your ownership. 

This gives you complete clarity and confidence in planning for the future, with no unexpected surprises.

The 2.5% increase will take effect from 1st January each year. From 1st January 2026 the Service Charge will be £912.50 per month. Double occupancy is an additional £41.67 per month.

Ground rent

There is a nominal ‘peppercorn’ rent (if demanded). In effect, no ground rent is payable.

Utilities

You’ll be billed monthly based on electricity readings from the meter inside your home, and you can track your usage at any time through an online portal.

Water supply and sewerage is billed to you directly by the local water authority.

Event Fee

The Event Fee is calculated by reference to a percentage of the sale price. The percentage payable is 4% of the selling price in the first year of your ownership, 8% in year 2, 12% in year 3, 16% in year 4, 20% in year 5 and 24% in year 6 and thereafter.
