*Ongoing Fees are subject to CPI +1.5% adjustment after 30 June 2024.

A maximum of 20% of the resale price or 28% of the purchase price if you have lived in the apartment for eight years or more and includes any required refurbishment works to achieve the best possible resale price at the time. The refund is paid once your apartment is sold to the next resident. This outgoing fee, commonly known as the Deferred Management Fee (DMF) or exit fee, is a common charge at retirement communities. The fee is a percentage of the sale price, with 100% of the capital gains going to the departing residents, less this fee. This allows the operator to recover costs associated with the construction and ongoing maintenance of the internal and external community spaces for residents to enjoy while they’re living there. You aren’t responsible for undertaking any renovation works to your apartment when you leave, although you might need to repair or ‘make good’ any alterations or modifications you’ve made or damage you’ve caused.
