Our strata title residence contract offers you the social and wellbeing benefits of a retirement village while maintaining ownership security.
With a strata-title contract, you own your home plus a portion of the community facilities. You will need to pay stamp duty and ongoing strata fees.
Life in a retirement village offers a community lifestyle, a safe and supportive environment with a range of health and wellbeing services, activities and amenities.
These monthly fees keep the village running and cover services that make life easier and more enjoyable — things like maintaining shared spaces, security, activities, and community amenities.
Paid quarterly to the Owners Corporation (NSW) or Body Corporate (QLD), these cover the upkeep of common property, building insurance, and shared facilities.
By law, all fees are charged at cost — we make no profit. They only increase in line with actual costs, and village finances are independently audited each year.
When it comes time to leave your home, we ensure the process is simple and stress-free for you and your loved ones.
We’ll advise you on how best to prepare your home for sale, then put it on the market and help you find a new buyer.
When you move out, you’ll continue to pay village service fees and strata levies until your home is sold. In some cases, these fees may be capped or shared over time to keep things fair.
Owning your home outright means its value changes with the property market. If prices go up, you may make a profit. If they go down, you could sell for less than you paid.
You’ll receive your exit entitlement within 14 days of settlement.
When you leave, you’ll pay a management fee which is capped at 37.5% of the resale price in our strata title villages in New South Wales and 35% of the resale price in Queensland and is accrued during your first five years in the village. This fee gives you access to your preferred lifestyle and contributes to quality social and recreational amenities. This is our form of income and can contribute to village improvements and support staff.
Here is an example for a strata village with a 37.5% management fee.
I’m old school and very much enjoy the security, in my own mind, that the strata-title contract provides us. Because the truth of the matter is, as lot owners, we have a big say on what goes on and in the budgeting process, along with the body corporate and RetireAustralia.
We always wanted to go for strata contract, because it made more sense to me. We knew that we would get a percentage of the profit, even with the management fee. It was all in the contract in black and white, so we felt we had a guarantee for the future.
