A Loan Lease gives a retirement village resident the right to occupy the property for as long as they wish up to 99 years. This gives the occupier the full rights and protection as detailed in the Retirement Villages Act.
Because the development is a Loan Lease the initial contribution is not a purchase price, but a loan to the owner. Therefore, there is no requirement for GST or Stamp Duty to be paid. This represents a significant saving for residents looking to lease a villa.
Under the Retirement Villages Act, a first ranking charge (similar to a mortgage) fixes on the land in favour of all residents who have paid a contribution of more than $10,000.00.
There are no other expenses initially payable by a new resident, other than the cost of any legal and financial advice (which we recommend you obtain)
