Affordable Over 50s Living
Enjoy your next chapter without compromise
At Lakeside Forster, we believe financial security and lifestyle freedom should go hand in hand.
Our homes are designed to offer exceptional value, made possible through a simple and transparent land lease model – a government-protected form of homeownership created to keep living affordable and stress-free.
You’ll own your home while leasing the land it sits on under a long-term residential site agreement. This gives you the exclusive right to occupy your site and enjoy full use of the community’s facilities and services.
A smart financial move
Because you’re leasing the land, there’s no stamp duty, no council rates and no exit fees on standard purchases, which means more money stays in your pocket.
Many residents also find this model allows them to free up equity from their family home – giving them greater choice, flexibility and confidence for the years ahead.
Best of all, you keep control and independence: you can sell your home whenever you choose and retain any capital gains. It’s a model built for peace of mind today and security for tomorrow.
No Stamp Duty
When you buy a home in Lakeside Forster there’s no stamp duty to pay, saving you thousands in purchase costs.
No Council Rates
You can say goodbye to ongoing expensive council rates and charges when you move into Lakeside Forster.
No Exit Fees
Unlike other villages when you decide to sell your home you won’t be charged exit fees or deferred management fees.
Retain Capital Gains
When the time comes to sell your house and move on, you can keep any capital growth.
Rent Assistance
If you're eligible for the pension, you can receive Rent Assistance to subsidise your site fees.
Shared Equity
Our shared equity option lowers your upfront costs which means more money for your retirement.
