Buying from Lifestyle Communities
The journey to downsizing at Lifestyle Communities starts with a visit! This is when you can explore the community and see if it's the right fit for you.
If you're looking at one of our newer communities with homes under construction, you will be purchasing from Lifestyle Communities. If you'd rather look at a more established community, you will be buying from a vendor. Click on the link below to understand that process.
Planning for your first visit to Lifestyle Communities
You’ve made the decision to visit one of our 25 Lifestyle Communities across Victoria. Not sure what to expect? Here’s a quick look at what is involved in your first visit.
90-minute appointment
Your first visit will take about 90 minutes. We'll use this time to get to know you and what you're looking for, tour the Clubhouse and available homes. This gives us plenty of time to cover the basics.
Meet with your Lifestyle Consultant
Your Lifestyle Consultant will meet with you and step you through the process, supporting along the way.
Personalised appointments
One size does not fit all when it comes to downsizing. That's why we personalise each appointment based on your needs.
Visit us many times as you want
Downsizing is a big decision and we know you need time to compare options. Visit as many times as you need to make the right decision for you.
Preparing for your visit
You don't need to prepare anything prior to your appointment, but if you would like to, we recommend completing the following steps.
Speak to your Lifestyle Consultant
Your Lifestyle Consultant will be in contact with you ahead of your community visit. This is a great time to share what you'd like to discuss and see around the community.
Prepare any questions you have
You've likely got lots of questions. You can write these down and bring them along. Don't worry if you forget something, we will always call you after your visit to check in.
Compare communities
The right community for you might not be the first you visit. We recommend looking at a few communities you'd like to compare.
What are the next steps?
When you’re ready to buy at Lifestyle Communities you will follow the steps below, with no more to pay until settlement day.
Secure your spot
Once you’ve chosen your preferred home design and location, you’ll pay a non-refundable $1,000 deposit and sign a First Deposit Acknowledgement form, securing your home for the next three weeks.
Sign your agreement
When you’re ready to proceed, we’ll provide your official Home Purchase Agreement and Residential Site Agreement for signing. At this stage, you’ll pay a further $4,000, bringing your total deposit to $5,000.
Get ready to sell your home
You’ll have plenty of time to sell your home, and we’ll be here to support you every step of the way.
Customising your home
If you've purchased an off-the-plan home, you'll have the option to customise. We will organise a customisation meeting with a Design Consultant in one of our purpose-built customisation hubs. Here, you'll select any variations for your home and choose internal colours. Your plans will be marked up and sent to our draftsperson to be finalised ahead of construction beginning.
