At Guardian Court leasehold retirement development in Northfield, we manage 16 one bedroom and 16 two bedroom purpose-built properties for sale for people over the age of 60. These properties are offered for sale at a price 30% below current market value. This is possible due to a grant provided by the Government. The grant gives an opportunity to those who could not otherwise afford to purchase purpose built retirement accommodation.
The development is situated in a residential suburb with regular buses from outside the estate to nearby Northfield shopping centre which has a wide range of shops, supermarkets, banks and building societies. Northfield centre offers a range of leisure facilities with several pubs, cafes, restaurants and a swimming pool. There is a surgery and pharmacy both within reasonable distance.
The city of Birmingham is easily accessible by bus, train or car and has the usual facilities associated with a city of this size. Northfield is also convenient for visiting the Lickey Hills for pleasant walks and lovely views of the surrounding area.
In addition to each individual private property, at Guardian Court we provide a communal laundry, pleasant gardens, and 17 car parking spaces.
The estate manager is on site 20 hours per week to offer help, advice and co-ordinate any services provided.

Life at Guardian Court
All Anchor estates offer a 24-hour alarm call service in private and shared areas. Every estate will have either a resident or visiting manager who provides help, advice and co-ordinates any services provided.
In addition to each individual private property, all Anchor estates offer some shared facilities, available for the use and enjoyment of all the residents, and managed and maintained by Anchor.
Shared facilities vary from one estate to the next. Anchor estates offer some or all of the following:
- a guest suite for visitors
- a maintained communal lounge for social activities and events
- residents’ and visitors’ parking
- lifts where appropriate in shared buildings of two or more floors
- maintained gardens for all residents to enjoy
- a conservatory shared by all residents
- a shared laundry which saves space in residents' kitchens
If you are over 60 years old and wanting to own a retirement property without the burden of maintenance and repairs, Anchor-managed properties may be the answer. Anchor estates are all very different. They range from a small cul–de-sac of six bungalows to a large estate of 86 apartments. Most are set in pleasant landscaped settings.
At each estate there will be an estate manager who can act as the first point of contact for any queries that residents may have and offer help to access any local services.
Our retirement properties have a real community feel where people interact with their neighbours, families and friends, continuing to do all the things they love.
Many of our leasehold housing developments organise a wide range of activities and events tailored to the interests of the people living in them.
