Knowing the risks

Buying into a retirement village is not the same as buying an investment property.

You may face substantial costs when leaving a village. Buying into a retirement village is a lifestyle decision, not a financial investment.

Living in a retirement village is not the same as owning your own home or renting. In most cases, you do not purchase the property title to the unit. Instead, you purchase a right to live in the unit and the right to benefit from the lifestyle facilities the village offers.

The cost of providing the unit and lifestyle generally exceeds the amount you pay when you move into a retirement village. The village operator recovers the balance through an exit fee payable after you leave the village. This amount, together with other fees and charges agreed to when you moved in, are deducted from your refund when your unit is ‘sold’ to the next resident.

As a general rule, the deduction of the exit fee and other charges means the amount paid when you moved in is significantly reduced at final settlement, even though the market value of the unit may have increased.

Lifestyle, living well and good preparation

Buying into a retirement village is a lifestyle decision but living well for the foreseeable future involves so much more. We can help you put in place all the arrangements necessary to give you peace of mind.

You should seek financial advice before buying into a retirement village. Additionally, it is strongly recommended you get advice from a solicitor with expertise in retirement villages before you sign anything.

The solicitor will help you understand your financial and legal obligations and whether the residence contract is fair. Consider appointing a solicitor who has expertise both in retirement village law and, if needed, general property conveyancing, to assist with the sale of your home.
