To help keep your home price as low as possible, some of the costs associated with living in Lifestyle Communities can be deferred and paid when you leave the community. This is known as the Deferred Management Fee (DMF).

The DMF reduces your upfront costs, giving you more freedom to enjoy life now. It also contributes to how we reinvest across our communities, helping ensure shared spaces stay vibrant and well-maintained for years to come.

How is the Deferred Management Fee calculated?

This one-off fee is payable when you sell your home and leave the community, and is calculated on the purchase price of your home.

You’ll pay 4% of the purchase price per year, capped at a maximum of 20% after five years. If you leave partway through a year, you’ll only pay a proportional (pro-rata) amount of that year’s 4%.

No matter how long you stay, you’ll never pay more than 20% of the purchase price. This gives you certainty from day one and ensures you keep any capital growth on your home.
