It’s the best way to get an honest insight into life at one of its communities, first hand.<\/p>\n
It will not only remove your fear of moving but give you the chance to ask all those questions to someone who has gone through the experience themselves.<\/p>\n
Christine and Muriel are two homeowners who volunteer their time to speak to prospective McCarthy Stone purchasers or tenants.<\/p>\n
As Muriel says: \u201cIt\u2019s a big thing moving out of your family home. There\u2019s always mixed feelings and that\u2019s understandable.<\/p>\n
“When we moved, we looked at a number of places, and having a homeowner to talk to about their experience would have been a huge help when deciding where to call home.\u201d<\/p>\n
