Audley Group is a specialist retirement housing provider which acquires sites, develops and then operates retirement villages. The Group has two brands: Audley Villages, founded in 1991 and aimed at the luxury end of the market, and Mayfield Villages, a proposition with broader appeal. In 2019, Audley Group now owns a portfolio of 20 villages across the country. Owners buy their own house or apartment on a 125-year lease with access to facilities and flexible care if needed, enabling them to live an independent and healthy life. Audley Group is an accredited care provider and a founder member of The Associated Retirement Community Operators, ARCO. Audley Group has just completed the refinancing of its debt facilities with a five-year term loan of £125m, jointly funded by HSBC (£90m) and Bank Leumi (UK) (£35m). This comes off the back of an additional £85m of equity raised in June 2017 by the Moorfield Audley Real Estate Fund (MAREF), taking the total equity raised to £285m. [Updated in March 2019].
