Costs explained

Living in an Anglican Care retirement living community.

As retirement living offers unique benefits, the pricing structure differs from purchasing a standard home.

We have a variety of payment options to suit your individual circumstances and are here to help explain the pricing and options to you, please give us a call.

Learn about the associated costs of Retirement Living including initial purchase price, village fees and exit fees.
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. 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.
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.
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.

If you have any questions or would like to organise a village tour, please give us a call, we’re here to help.

Looking to purchase a retirement villa?

If lifestyle and independence matter to you, enjoy the freedom that comes with living in a community that allows you to relax, knowing the hard work is done for you.

While our villages offer the opportunity to socialise and form new friendships with people just like you, you can be as involved as you want to be, or not at all.
Deciding to move into a retirement village is a major step. Our Customer Engagement Team is here to help you throughout this process.

Your first step is to decide which village you’d like to call home. Take a tour, see the facilities and environment firsthand, talk to current residents to understand their experiences with the lifestyle and community. 

Consider the local area surrounding the village, not just the village itself. 

Think about which amenities are important to you. Understand all the associated costs, consider how the property will suit your future needs, involve your support person(s) and review legal documents.
Planning for the future can help you to feel more prepared when the time is right.

When you have decided on the Village that you would like to secure, we encourage you to prepare your finances while you wait for availability.

When a villa becomes available, we will invite you to attend an inspection and explain all associated costs.

If you wish to accept our offer, we require a $1,000 deposit. This deposit will hold your unit for a three-month period. If you are unable to sell your home within this period, we can consider an extension if both parties agree. If you decide not to proceed with moving into this unit, the deposit will be fully refunded.
On the day of settlement, you’ll officially take ownership of your new home.
It’s important that you feel supported and at the centre of your care. If at any time you have questions or feedback we want to hear from you.
