WHERE TO LOOK

Easy-care Real Estate Options

Staying at Home

Research suggests that 65% of older people wish to stay living in their own homes for as long as possible. Careful choice of a house can make it easier to stay in your own home. The choice of the suburb  can also make ageing in place possible. SNR Real Estate is here to help you choose the right property.

Easy care 50+ villages and suburbs with Capital Gain

This type of housing is a speciality for SNR Real Estate. There are some excellent Tauranga 50+ villages, apartments and suburbs with low-maintenance, easy care properties designed with easy-living in mind. Some villages have common areas maintained by management or a body corporate. They range from Freehold to Leasehold to owning your house and paying a ground rental. Some offer all capital gain back, others a significant proportion. To learn more, get in touch with us at SNR Real Estate.

License to Occupy Villages

Entry to most of the lifestyle retirement villages is by the purchase of a License to Occupy for a chosen villa or apartment. There are varying age restrictions to entry but most are 65+.

Lifestyle villages are a good choice if you desire security and companionship and aren't too worried about the loss of capital gain and having a License to Occupy rather than owning your home.

There are more than 30 villages providing Tauranga retirement housing, ranging from large corporate village to boutique privately owned villages. It's good to do your research as each village offers something different and attracts different types of retirees.
