FAQs
Kinglsey Lakeside Village is an over 60's resort-style development, purpose built for your complete comfort and satisfaction.
Set in a prime location, on the edge of Lake Goollelal Nature Reserve, providing nature’s delights right at the front door, along with Kingsway City Shopping Centre, which is also within walking distance.
Staff are on site during business hours and regular after hours security patrols provide complete peace of mind.
Anyone who can live independently and is over 60 years of age can live in a retirement village, whether you are retired or still working.
Our apartments are occupied on a ‘life lease’ basis, so while you will not own your home outright, you are granted exclusive occupancy for your life.
You may terminate your lease (at any time) by giving written notice of your wish to do so. Your apartment is then prepared for re-lease and every effort is made to sell it as soon as is reasonably practicable for the best market value.
The costs payable by the resident to enter Kingsley are limited to:
-
The entry price of your chosen villa or apartment (No Stamp Duty is payable on an apartment because it is formally a lease).
-
An administration fee to cover the cost of processing the Residence Contract, preparing statements and completing settlement.
-
The cost of connecting to all of your desired utilities including gas, electricity, telephone and internet.
