Buying into a Retirement Village or moving into an Aged Care Facility is a big, life changing decision.
Retirement should be a stress free period of your life and making the move into a Retirement Village, Aged Care Facility or Nursing Home is quite different to buying a home. The process can be complicated, so it is very important that you obtain legal advice so that you properly understand the documents you are signing and what your rights, costs and obligations are.
At Ingwersen and Lansdown Solicitors, we have experience in Retirement Village law and general property conveyancing, so we can assist with the sale of your home to provide a smooth transition into a Retirement Village or Aged Care Facility.
It is a good idea to engage our Solicitors prior to or during your research phase of choosing a Retirement Village or Aged Care Home so we can provide guidance on the risks and requirements of the different facilities you are considering.
Selling and moving out of a retirement village is not as straightforward as selling a normal home. Our Lawyers at Ingwersen and Lansdown Solicitors can provide guidance on the process of selling your unit in a retirement village including your rights and obligations as a seller, exit fees and the rights of relatives.
There are lots of things to consider before
you make the move, including but not
limited to:
- What will it cost?
- What services are available?
- Can I bring my pet?
- Can I decorate my unit to my own taste?
- Is there a high care facility at the retirement village?
- Will there be refurbishment and capital replacement costs?
- What are the exit fees of the retirement village?
One of our experienced Property Lawyers will
meet with you, explain the process and be
available to you personally throughout the
process to help with:
- Personal consultation to discuss the Information Documents and answer any questions you may have;
- Acting on your behalf to buy or sell a retirement village unit; and
- Conveyancing services for the sale of your home.
