Fullerton Court is a retirement property of 38 apartments in the popular London suburb of Teddington, in the borough of Richmond upon Thames. It overlooks Udney Park Playing Fields and is only a five-minute walk from the thriving High Street. Each apartment is designed for ease of use and mobility, with safety pull cords installed in every room that are guaranteed to alert the 24-hour on-site staff immediately in an emergency. The Court is staffed by a Manager, four Duty Managers, and a team of Housekeeping Assistants who provide one and a half hours of domestic help each week to every apartment, as well as maintaining the communal areas. There is a laundry service, and a freshly prepared 3-course lunch available daily in the dining room at cost, cooked by a dedicated in-house catering team. The large, comfortable Owners’ Lounge is the social hub, hosting a variety of entertainments including coffee mornings, afternoon teas, keep-fit classes and a Friday happy hour, while the hobbies room is an alternative venue for smaller meetings, including U3A groups. There is a Guest Suite offering visitors an overnight stay, a spacious car park for Owners and visitors, gardens with seating in both sunny and shady areas and views over the playing fields.

As in all Retirement Security developments, Owners at Fullerton Court have a share in the Management Company and elect a Board of Directors to represent them in the running of the Court. This gives them a real voice in its management, and a level of self-determination not often found in other retirement complexes.

Providing a unique approach to independent retirement living, Retirement Security was established in 1983. We have continued to trail blaze for over 40 years with 32 Courts across England and Wales all offering a range of high-level services to make life easier.

Our founder, Bob Bessell, committed to provide retirees with a wider selection of retirement options, ones that offered affordability, a secure environment and a supportive community, alongside retaining financial control – Courts ‘Run by Owners, for Owners’. These carefully designed properties bridge the gap between luxury retirement living and preserving your independence for as long as possible.

It is important to note that a significant proportion of the Service Charge relates to items which the prospective purchaser is responsible for in their present home, such as building insurance, building maintenance, gardening, and domestic help.

The lease provides that a transfer premium is payable to Retirement Security on resale of a property. The maximum premium payable is 3% of the sale price depending on the length of time an Owner has lived at the property. Further information is available from the Court Manager.
