What's my entitlement to maintenance loans if my parents are retired?
I'm unsure on how much money I should expect to have available to me from maintenance loans as well as how to decide what my living costs would be in order to work out how much I should borrow.

If you are under 25 then you will still be assessed on your parents' combined taxable income. As pensions are taxed, these would be part of the calculation of your household income, as would things like interest on savings, dividends from investments etc.
