MASTERPLAN
FAQ's
How old do I need to be to live at Stratford Gardens?
You need to be 55 years and over to live at Stratford Gardens
Will I own my Stratford Gardens home?
Yes, you will own your home. When you buy a home via a land lease living model, purchasers own their property and lease the land the property sits on. By utilising this model, property prices are quite affordable and no stamp duty is applicable
How much are the site fees?
The site fee is between $480 to $500 per fortnight and is paid on a fortnightly basis. If you are approved to receive Government Rent Assistance, the 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.
Are there any other fees I should know about?
In addition to your weekly site fees, you will need to pay outgoing utility fees such as internet, electricity, telephone, water, gas and any home contents insurances
Will I need to pay a deferred management fee, or corporate / strata fee?
No, you will not need to pay a deferred management fee, or corporate / strata fee. This is one of the important differences between land lease living and the traditional retirement village model
Do I need to pay stamp duty?
No. You don’t pay stamp duty on the purchase of your home. This is one of the many savings at Stratford Gardens
How secure is my Stratford Gardens tenure?
The Stratford Gardens tenure is secure. We operate under the Residential (Land Lease) Communities Act 2013, NSW. This legislation seeks to promote fair trade practices by operators by improving the governance of residential communities.

Winter zoomies, anyone?
Cooler weather might make the couch look extra inviting, but our furry friends still need their daily dose of movement.
Think sunny strolls, hallway fetch, tug-of-war, sniffari walks or a few extra laps around the community. It all helps keep pets active, happy and burning off that cheeky winter energy.
Because a tired pup is a cosy pup.
