Later-living providers like Lifestory, which comprises the Pegasus and Renaissance brands, have recognised this trend and is moving toward providing more rental choice through mixed-tenure and rental-only options.<\/span><\/p>\n Across the Lifestory portfolio, private rentals are increasing and its Steepleton<\/a> development in Tetbury is proving popular with 60 per cent of the community choosing to rent rather than buy.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTraditionally renting has been associated mainly with the under 40s but that dynamic is changing,” says Mike Gill, Regional Managing Director at Lifestory.<\/span><\/p>\n “The right rental properties, built for later living, and the flexibility that goes with renting means demand is growing in our later living portfolio, with Steepleton being a clear example of this.<\/span><\/p>\n “Whether it’s being able to retain the family home, the ability to move in quicker and become part of the community, freeing up capital to keep options open or simply not wanting to be tied to one choice, renting in later life is increasingly being seen as the right opportunity, keeping all options open, including to buy at a later stage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Lifestory has launched Lifestory Choices in response to rental demand offering Choice Flex and Choice to Buy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/newclone.retiremove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Lifestory-Pegasus-Steepleton-Tetbury.jpeg” title_text=”Lifestory Pegasus Steepleton, Tetbury” _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”59%” custom_padding=”8px|22px|||false|false” custom_css_main_element=”float:left;” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-5px||||false|false”]<\/p>\n Choice Flex allows you to rent a home for as long as you wish.
