We are only too happy to talk you through the costs of moving into Fraser Shores Hervey Bay retirement village and what ownership looks like. Here is a brief overview to get you started.
You can secure a property at Fraser Shores with a $1,000 deposit. This immediately holds your home for you while you make arrangements to sell your existing home, and is fully refundable if you decide not to proceed. When you decide to purchase, you will be given a contract and the time needed to review it thoroughly. We also recommend you consult a solicitor. The contract will explain what type of tenure you will have for the property – at Fraser Shores, we offer a Leasehold Agreement.
In addition to the ingoing contribution or “price”, there is a general services charge to cover the day-to-day operating costs and the upkeep of the village, such as council and water rates, building insurance, external and internal maintenance, management, administration and 24-hour emergency response.
Fraser Shores has a manager who is on site during business hours and is responsible for the day-to-day administration of the village. The village manager is your first point of contact if you have any questions or concerns and they will always try to address them fairly and promptly. We also encourage all residents to have a say in how their village is run by speaking with the village manager about any ideas or concerns, and participating in the residents committee meetings.
Every retirement village has a village comparison document, which provides more detailed information about the village accommodation, costs, facilities and more, so you can easily compare villages. View our village comparison documents here:
