Luxury Retirement Villages: Where’s the Transparency?
The team at Later Life Advice takes great pride in helping retirees make the right decisions when they move into aged care and retirement villages.
Luxury retirement villages promise security, lifestyle, and community—but how transparent are they about the financial reality?
Know the full story before you sign.
🔹 You’re not buying a home—you’re signing a loan contract with complex conditions, including when and how the contract can end.
🔹 No stamp duty? That’s because you don’t hold title. Your legal rights are different from homeownership.
🔹 Exit fees, DMFs, repair costs, and deductions can take a huge chunk of your savings.
🔹 Need aged care? Accessing your money can take months, leaving families scrambling to cover costs.
🔹 “100% of capital gain” sounds great—but it’s only part of the story. You cannot leave with more money than you started with.
With half of retirement village residents confused about their contracts, many don’t realize what they’ve signed up for—until it’s too late.
The best villages don’t need flashy advertising. The worst? You’ll see them everywhere.
We help you cut through the confusion—call us at 9173 8560.
