It is a big thing when an older person or a couple decides to sell their home of sometimes 50 years or more and move into a retirement village or aged care. Apart from the process of selling their home, the documentation for the retirement village can be quite complicated – some are freehold, some are  leasehold and there are different fees payable both while the person is living in the village and on disposal of the unit in the village. There are often rules which people may not consider e.g whether they can have pets,  or whether the village is non- smoking etc. The documentation for Aged Care facilities can be even more complicated.

The benefit in using Pitt Street Conveyancing is that our solicitors have had a lot of experience in this area and can guide you through the whole process as simply as possible while still ascertaining whether the village can accommodate what is important for them. If necessary one of our solicitors can visit you in your own home (depending on where you are located).
