The Situation.
Your parents are healthy, independent, and want to enjoy their later years with dignity. Their home has sold, and now there’s $600,000 to plan the next chapter, a decision that involves both care and long-term impact. Two very different paths over a 10 year period could look like this:
Path A - Retirement Village
Buy an Independent Living Unit
-
Cost to enter: ~$600,000 (average)
-
Ongoing fees: ~$12k p.a. + extras
-
Exit fee: 30% of sale price (~$210,000)
-
Value after 10 years: ~$700,000
-
Equity retained: ~$370,000 - extras
Control: Limited
Result: Diluted Wealth + Lifestyle Compromised
vs
Path B - Build on Family Property
Building a Maisonette on your property
-
Build cost: ~$300,000
-
Remaining savings: $300,000
-
Maisonette value (10 yrs): ~$450,000
-
Savings growth (4% p.a.): ~$445,000
-
Total value retained: ~$895,000
Control: 100% family-owned
Result: 1/2 cost + Asset Growth + Lifestyle Benefits
The Maisonette Difference
✓ Designed with architectural expertise in aging-in-place
✓ Built for flexibility, comfort and future use
✓ No exit fees, no body corp, no ongoing charges
✓ Keeps wealth, care and family in your hands
Retirement villages can work for some families. But for others, the emotional cost of distance, the lack of flexibility and the permanent loss of hard earned wealth may not feel right.
A Maisonette offers a different path - one rooted in family, dignity and long-term value.
Peace of Mind & Legacy for Life.
“It was the smartest decision we made. Mum gets to enjoy her own space, stay close to the grandkids and we’ve kept the family’s wealth intact. We couldn’t have happier with our Maisonette.”
