We’ve been helping people make the move into retirement living for over 55 years, so we know what questions come up, especially around costs. That’s why we keep things simple, transparent and upfront.
No hidden fees, no fine print, just honest info and a team ready to help. Here are the basics, and if you’d like to know more, you can dive deeper anytime.
Prior to your move into the village, we will provide a detailed calculation of the costs you can anticipate for both entering and exiting the community.
If you’re not happy after moving in to your new community, we’ll refund your ingoing contribution within 90 days, minus rent for the time you stayed in the village.
You won’t pay any stamp duty on your home in an IRT retirement village in NSW, Qld or the ACT.
When you decide to leave the community, you won’t be asked to pay any expenses associated with the refurbishment, marketing or sale of your home.
