Initial Purchase Price
All residents pay an entry price for their villa and just like the property market, the amount you pay will vary depending on the location, the size and style of your chosen villa.
You will not be required to pay stamp duty on your villa as all of our villages operate under a loan/license arrangement and there are no conveyancing costs either. Nor do you need to worry about real estate fees when you vacate your villa, we take care of your villa refurbishment and on sale so you and your family don’t have to.
Village fees
All residents pay fortnightly village fees (recurrent charges) to cover the costs of ongoing operation, management and maintenance of the village.
Village fees include:
- Council rates
- Water rates
- Building insurance
- Building and garden maintenance
Village fees do not include electricity, gas, contents insurance or personal expenses such as telephone, internet and health care.
Exit Fee
You will be required to pay a departure (exit) fee when you leave an Anglican Care retirement village. This payment is deferred until you depart your villa and is deducted from your initial purchase price. This makes buying into our villages more affordable, allowing you more money to enjoy your retirement. This fee assists us in covering the costs incurred in the initial investment of the land, village construction and community facilities. The amount of your exit fee will depend on your individual villa and how long you’ve lived in the village.
