MARIAN GROVE NEW RELEASE
FINANCIAL & CONTRACT INFORMATION
CLARITY, CERTAINTY AND CONFIDENCE
We understand that moving into a retirement village can be a big decision. With so many different retirement village contracts, it can be difficult to understand the differences, and determine what one works best for you. We believe it is important for you and your family to have clarity over our contracts from the very beginning.
We have prepared a simple explanation of our contract to give you and your family peace of mind.
Marian Grove Village Loan Licence Agreement Contracts
It can be difficult to understand the long-term costs associated with buying into a retirement village. Marian Grove offers a Loan Licence Agreement. The Loan Licence affords the resident uninterrupted right of residency under the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
Capped Departure Fee
Marian Grove Lifestyle Apartments has a capped departure fee structure that will not exceed 30% of the price you pay for your home. This way, it is easy to calculate (even before you move in) exactly how much money you will receive after you leave.
No Stamp Duty
You will not have to pay stamp duty on your apartment, leaving you with extra money in your pocket to enjoy whilst you settle in.
PEACE OF MIND
If you decide the village isn’t right for you within 90 days of moving in, we will refund you the full ingoing contribution within 30 days so you can focus on your next move. Please note that the monthly fees are also refunded, however we are permitted to charge ‘fair market rent’ on the home for the time that you reside in it, if you take up the “Settling In Period” option.
