Before Buying Into a Village

Before buying into a Retirement Village it is recommended that you ask yourself a few questions prior to making the final decision about your future life, living in a Retirement Village.

It may also wise to discuss your choices with your financial advisor or accountant so your fully understand the financial aspects.

Also, make a time to talk with your Seniors Real Estate Specialist – SRES^® consultant but in the mean time, perhaps consider some of the details that has been included in this checklist:

• Will the sale price quoted to me for my home be sufficient to purchase my new home in the Retirement Village that I have chosen?
• Can I afford to live in the Village of my choice and meet the current and future ongoing costs of Village life?
• What are the financial consequences if I choose to move out of the Village?
• Have I received adequate information about the retirement home I have chosen?
• Do I fully understand the contract that I will be signing?
• Have I met some of the residents at the Village?
• Will I be comfortable about the lifestyle and social life at the village?
• Should my health deteriorate or my mobility be restricted, will my new home provide the assistance I may need?
• Can I take my own furniture into the Village?
• Will my current furniture be suitable or will I need to purchase new?
• Have I received all the information required to be given to me prior to signing the contract under the Code of Fair practice for Retirement Villages and the Retirement Villages laws?
• Have I considered all other forms of accommodation that may suit me?
• Have I discussed my move with my friends and family?

Most people are very excited about their move and remember, if you change your mind after signing a contract, you will have a cooling- off period and as long as all parties are notified in writing, you can cancel the contract.
