No stamp duty There is no stamp duty payable on the purchase of your home, saving you thousands of dollars to spend on the lifestyle you deserve.
This can result in a boost to your budget, considering the Property Council of Australia suggests you can spend up to $75,000 in stamp duty and other costs downsizing your home.
Retain Capital Gain We believe you should get 100% of your capital gain as a cash profit when you sell your home.
In many other retirement living options, your agreement may force you to share your capital gain with the community manager. Living in a Hometown Australia land lease community means that more money stays in your pocket.
No Exit Fees When you sell your home, you won’t pay any exit fees, unlike ‘retirement villages' where you can be charged exit fees or ‘deferred management fees’ accrued over time. Great for your budget!
