What You’re Buying
When you move into Cumberland View, you’re not buying a freehold property. Instead, you enter a long-term lease that gives you the right to live in your home and enjoy being part of a village community.
You retain independence while joining a connected and secure community.
Entry contributions range from $350,000 to $1,100,000 depending on the size and style of the home, with a capped departure fee of 6% per year (up to 5 years, maximum 30%).
Ongoing Monthly Fees
The monthly fee (called a maintenance charge in your agreement) covers the upkeep and day-to-day running of the village — including team who manage community facilities, gardens and emergency systems on your behalf.
For 2025–26, fees range from $583.45 to $724.32 per month, depending on your unit type. This includes a $20 contribution to the Long-Term Maintenance Fund.
Optional Services (User Pays)
Additional services are available on a user-pays basis. These include domestic help (cleaning, laundry), personal care (e.g. assistance with medication), and appointments with visiting providers like GPs, physiotherapists, and hairdressers.
You’ll only ever be charged for what you use, and you’re welcome to use your own preferred providers.
Deferred Management Fee (DMF)
The DMF is a payment deducted when you leave the village. It helps maintain long-term village infrastrucure and improves lifestyle benefits for the community eg. pool, gym, bowling green. The amount is capped and explained clearly in your agreement, with no surprises.
Are There Any Other Costs?
You’ll still cover your personal utilities like electricity, phone and internet. If you choose premium upgrades or optional services (like in-home cleaning), these will be discussed and quoted before you move in.
