Buying an Apartment
The legal arrangement for purchasing an apartment is freehold title. When buying an apartment at Kings Living, you are purchasing the title for your apartment and your security of tenure is protected.
If you are interested in a particular apartment at Kings Living, you may place a $1,000 holding deposit on a particular apartment while you look over the contract documentation. You may pay this deposit by cheque, bank deposit or cash.
After 21 days we will arrange for you to sign contracts and pay a further deposit (usually 10% but sometimes this can be deferred until you have sold your current home). Please have a chat to us about your particular circumstances as you may need to sell your home first.
We will coordinate the settlement of your current home with your new home to make the transition a smooth one. We will liaise with your legal representative to ensure a stress free process.
Please talk to your consultant if you have any concerns. We realise that each person’s situation is unique and there are many ways to help you make the move easy.
Selling your Apartment
When the time comes to sell your apartment, the selling process is very similar to selling your current home – you can choose an agent or have the village assist you. The price will be determined by the market value in consultation with your agent. You can negotiate your own fee with your agent and the proceeds of the sale are yours less any fees payable to Kings Living.
