Frequently asked questions

• How long do I have to wait?

  We have a waiting list and we would encourage you to add your name to the list and we will notify you as soon as a villa becomes available.

• What are the deferred management fees (departure fees)?

  When you move to The Lakes of Cherrybrook, Cherrybrook the payment you make upon entry is partially refundable. There is a deduction for management fees of 10% (nonrefundable) of the entry price of the home on the day you move in, and a further 2% per annum for a maximum of 10 years and calculated on the price of the home on entry.

• Capital Gain?

• Once I have decided on the purchase of a home, how long do I have to pay?

  If you need to sell a home to come into the village, we will hold your deposit
  against your home of choice for four weeks. At the end of this time, if your
  current home is not actively being marketed, we will refund your deposit to allow
  other clients who are more ready to proceed the same opportunity. If your home
  is on the market, we will continue to hold the home in your name but would
  expect settlement within three months from date of deposit. At the end of this
  period, we would review the situation with you and we may be able to offer you
  an extension.

  Your deposit is fully refundable at any time should you not proceed to settlement.
