Aside from the incredible locations and amenities on offer, many of our residents love having the freedom to travel, thanks to the low-maintenance styles available. Reduce your stress levels and your upkeep costs by swapping the family home for a quality land lease living property.

One of the key benefits of land lease living is the various ways it can save you money as you downsize. There’s no stamp duty payable when you buy into a Hometown community. This can be a real 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. Unlike most ‘retirement villages’ who charge you council rates, with Hometown land lease living, you won’t have to pay council fees. You also retain your capital gains on your Hometown property, and won’t have to pay exit fees. Plus, if you receive a pension, you may be entitled to a government subsidy when you land lease.
