save your money
Why pay for the purchase of freehold land when Government legislation adequately protects your investment under a leasehold agreement, and also subsidises your lifestyle?
There are also:
• No exit fees
• No body corporate fees
• No deferred management fees
• No stamp duty
• No conveyancing fees
• No Council rates (excluding water)
Site fees are payable fortnightly in advance by direct debit for your convenience.
Save up to $275* per week by living at Savannah!
The following is an example of genuine savings to you based on a comparable freehold property in a gated community, offering similar amenities and services. By purchasing at Savannah Lifestyle Resorts you do not pay for the land (valued at $140,000). This land cost saving could earn you income of approximately $215 per week if invested in a secure 8% per annum investment.
With regards to other Retirement Villages that charge exit fees or deferred management fees (that do not apply at Savannah Lifestyle Resorts), you would save an average of $500 per week based on a ten year occupancy.
