FAQ's

Do I own my home?

Yes. The land lease model allows purchasers to own their homes 100% at an affordable price point. This gives you the convenience to free up more of your savings

How much are the site fees?

Sites fees vary, however, they start at $249 per week and are paid fortnightly. If you are approved to receive Government Rent Assistance, the weekly site fee will be reduced, depending on your personal financial situation. However, this cost can be offset through Commonwealth Rent Assistance, if the resident receives a benefit such as the age pension, JobSeeker payment, carer payment or disability support pension. As of June 2021, the maximum fortnightly Commonwealth Rent Assistance payment was $140.80 a fortnight.

Do I have to pay a corporate deferred management fee, entry or exit fees?

No. Under the land lease model, you don’t pay any extra fees unlike in the traditional retirement living

When the practical stuff is sorted, there’s more time to enjoy the good moments. 

Here are 3 simple ways to make planning your week feel easier:
• Start with the basics: Set a loose plan for meals, appointments and social catch-ups. 
• Keep costs clear and predictable: When you know what to expect, budgeting becomes easier.
• Leave room for what comes up: The best weeks aren’t over-planned. Leave space for a walk, a coffee with friends or a spontaneous outing.

#PremiumDesign #VivacityHomes #LuxuryLivingOver55
Across Australia, Vivacity Property is growing with intent.
More boutique over-55s communities. More lifestyle-led locations. More opportunities to live independently in places designed for ease, quality and long-term value.

A considered way of living... with more to come.
