Classified as a manufactured homes estate, Meander Village caters to the over 50's active retiree and empty-nesters. One of the benefits of a manufactured homes estate is being able to live and interact in a community with like-minded people.
Age-related support features such as medical facilities or on-site assisted care options are features of the retirement village market, rather than manufactured homes estates which suit younger, truly independent people.
At Meander Village a quality home is within the reach of most; those with limited means have the chance to buy and live in the standard of home they may never have enjoyed in the past. Those who currently own a substantial residence can sell and capitalise by utilising their funds to not only finance their new home, but free up money to enjoy the relaxed and carefree lifestyle they’ve worked hard for.
Quite often, strata and company title, loan and licence agreements and leasehold are not
well understood by seniors, which can lead to confusion and stress when trying to understand who is responsible within the retirement village context.
Ownership of a home in the Meander Village community exists on a two-tier basis.
Your rights are protected by the Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Act 2003.
In simple terms, Meander Village owns the land and facilities and you own your home. If you decide to sell your home at any time you are free to do so in the same manner as you would sell a freehold home. For those who decide to leave a manufactured home estate at a later stage, the only deduction from the sale price will be a commission if management acts in the sale of the home
Meander provides all home purchasers with documentation as required by the Department of
Fair Trading Residential Park Living, including Questions and Answers; a copy of the Park Rules; a personal copy of your completed lease and a copy of your contract.
Compared with legally defined retirement villages, manufactured homes estates offer a number of significant advantages including:
