NO HIDDEN COSTS
Unplanned expenses can be a challenge. And they seem to crop up just as you planned to splurge a little on yourself. We’ve removed the surprise from retirement living with no hidden costs.
Ryman residents know for certain that their fees won’t increase unexpectedly. And they say that this financial certainty helps them plan ahead for large expenses like holidays while still enjoying themselves today.
Ryman village life means fewer responsibilities so you can live on your own terms (and treat yourself if you feel like it).
DEFERRED MANAGEMENT FEE
Often referred to as a departure fee or exit fee, the deferred management fee is an amount that becomes payable when you permanently vacate your village unit.
The deferred management fee gives you the right to occupy your unit and enjoy the village amenities. It is calculated as a percentage of the occupancy advance (entry payment) that you pay when you move into your unit.
“Ryman’s deferred management fees are capped, with our standard fee of 20% one of the lowest in the industry”
90-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE*
We’re so confident you’ll be happy with your decision to move to a Ryman village, we will provide you with a 90-day money-back guarantee*.
“We guarantee that we will repay your occupancy advance in full if, on the expiry of 90 days after taking up permanent residence, you are unhappy with your decision to move into your apartment or townhouse and wish to leave the village.”
*Some conditions apply.
FEES STOP IMMEDIATELY
When you vacate your apartment or townhouse, you will not continue to carry the cost of outgoings. We see it as our responsibility to carry these costs while we’re in the process of on-selling your apartment or townhouse.
“We guarantee that the base weekly fee and deferred management fee will stop on the day you permanently vacate your apartment or townhouse.”
REPAYMENT PROTECTION
It is common practice for retirement villages to repay the balance of the occupancy advance only when the apartment or townhouse has been on-sold.
“We guarantee that if the new resident has not settled within 6 months of you vacating your apartment or townhouse, we will pay you interest on your occupancy advance until it is paid in full.”
In over 35 years the longest time a Ryman resident has waited to be repaid is 6 months.
