What is
a Life Right

Understanding your investment.

Life Right is a form of purchasing the right to live in a specific unit in a retirement village, and is widely accepted and requested in the retirement industry throughout South Africa and abroad. This gives the purchaser the security of tenure for the duration of their stay within the Village. Life Right residents enjoy similar privileges as those who purchased a home as freehold or sectional title, except that the Land Owner/Developer remains the sole owner of the property and therefore the Association carries the responsibility to maintain the external building areas, common areas of the Village, and its facilities.

In South Africa, the Life Rights scheme has been officially recognized by the Housing Development Schemes for Retired Persons Act 65 of 1988 and is therefore legally regulated. Unlike with sectional title, one advantage of a Life Right purchase is that it is not a property transfer – there are no bond registration fees, no transfer duties and no VAT payable, thus avoiding the negative effects that such additional costs can have upon discretionary income and estate values.

All Life Right Agreements must be accompanied by a 3 year projected budget giving an idea of your expected levies for the first 3 years ensuring that the Life Right holder can accordingly plan their finances. This budget must include all major external maintenance of the village for 10 years as to avoid large levy charges. A Life Right is non-transferable and terminates, on death or on notice. It then reverts back to the owner of the Village, for resale. A portion of your life right is then refunded in line with the terms of your agreement.
