Understanding retirement living
Like any big change in life, moving into a retirement village takes some consideration. We’re committed to ensuring you have all the information you need to make your decision as straightforward as possible. Here are a few things to consider when making the decision to buy a retirement property with Keyton.
Plan options to suit you
We know everyone’s different. That’s why our range of plan options will help you embrace a retirement that’s as unique as you are.
Once you have found your home for the price you can afford and the plan that suits you, we recommend seeking professional advice so you fully understand this lifestyle choice.
When it comes to choosing a property type, consider how you plan to spend most of your retirement to make sure your new home will suit your needs.
Whether you plan to spend it golfing, gardening, visiting family or taking up a new hobby, your new home should give you easy access to whatever you enjoy most. The same applies for the size and layout of your home. Downsizing to a smaller property offers the benefits of less maintenance, while extra space allows room for your hobbies, office work or storage.
If you choose to live in a Serviced Apartment, your service fees also cover your meals, weekly cleaning and heavy laundry.
There are a number of different sale or tenure agreements used for retirement village properties. Some of these are the same as general property agreements such as Strata Title, while others may be a Loan Lease, a Leasehold or a Loan Licence.
When you decide to purchase a home in one of our retirement villages, the Sales Manager or Village Manager will meet you face-to-face and provide you with a contract, as well as further explain the costs involved.
Please take the time to review the contract thoroughly, obtain independent legal advice and talk to your friends and family.
Of course, we are also here to answer any additional questions you may have.
When is the best time to make the move?
Everyone’s situation is different, so there’s no right answer for everyone.
If you’re over 55 and like the idea of living within a welcoming community, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t consider a retirement village.
These days, perceptions of what a typical retiree looks like have changed. In fact, plenty of people who live in retirement villages are not retired at all! While there are no disadvantages of moving too early, waiting too long may mean you miss out on making the most of the facilities, convenience and friendships that can be formed at a retirement village.
Our villages offer an environment in which you can make the most of everything you've worked towards, no matter whether you have retired or are still working.
Retirement Living Code of Conduct
Keyton is a proud signatory to the Retirement Living Code of Conduct. Signatories to the Code represent a pool of operators that have proven they are extremely dedicated to providing residents with the best possible experience.
As a Foundation Member, Keyton is dedicated to complying with the Code’s commitments, values, and principles.
No matter which option you choose, it’s important to note that you will pay ongoing service fees that cover the day-to-day operating costs of the village.
Keyton does not profit from these service fees, but they are a standard part of retirement village living and include things such as the village staff, utility costs for common areas, and garden and property maintenance.
If you choose to live in a Serviced Apartment, your service fees also cover your meals, weekly cleaning and heavy laundry.
Change your mind with peace of mind*
If you live in a Keyton leasehold village and decide to move out within the first six months, we will guarantee the buyback of your home with no Management Fee charges.
For the Freedom Plan and Growth Plan, all you pay is fair market rent and service fees for the time you stay.
For the Guarantee Plan, you will receive a refund of the property price and bond whenever you decide to leave the village, whether it is within the first six months or any time afterwards.
*This offer applies to new residents only and excludes strata villages. Keyton upholds residents' statutory rights under the Retirement Villages Act applicable in each state.
Know when your service fees stop*
Ongoing service fees are a standard part of retirement living. These fees cover the day-to-day operating costs of the Village.
With Keyton, you can rest assured that 90 days after vacant possession, you won’t pay any more service fees, no matter how long it takes for your property to be re-sold.
*This offer is subject to terms and conditions which are available from our Village Sales Managers. Keyton reserves the right to amend or discontinue this offer at any time, without notice.
Questions to ask
