5 simple steps to calling Applewood home

Are you considering the transition to retirement living but feeling overwhelmed by the process? At Applewood, we understand that making this significant decision can be both exciting and daunting. That's why we're committed to making the entire journey as smooth as possible.

Let’s explore our simple 5-step buying process, which allows you to eliminate stress and focus on the joy of this new chapter in your life.

Step 1: Visit our village and meet our sales consultants

The first step on your retirement living journey is to visit Applewood. During your visit, you'll have the opportunity to meet with our experienced sales consultants, who are here to guide you through the process.

This visit serves two essential purposes: to provide you with a better understanding of retirement living at our village, and to inspect our available properties. Our consultants are always eager to answer your questions and help you explore the gardens and amenities, ensuring you feel well-informed throughout your visit.

Step 2: Secure your ideal home with a $2,000 deposit

Once you've explored the village and available properties, and you're excited about what you've seen, it's time to secure your ideal retirement home with a $2,000 deposit.

Step 3: The cooling off period

Following your deposit, you'll enter a 21-day cooling off period. During this time, you have the freedom to discuss your decision with family, friends, and your solicitor. We encourage you to vis us anytime you like to inspect your future home and address any questions or concerns you may have. We value transparency and your comfort, so we're here to ensure you have all the information you need to feel confident and comfortable.

Step 4: Contract and deposit

When you're ready to proceed, the next step is signing the contract and paying a 10% deposit.  There are also solicitor fees applicable to have your Applewood contract drawn up.

Step 5: No further payments until settlement

After the 10% deposit, there are no further financial commitments until settlement, so you can focus on decluttering and selling your current home.

More than a streamlined buying process, we also seek to make your experience further enjoyable by giving you ample time to sell your current home, and connecting you with the right experts.

You’ll have plenty of time to sell your current home

We’ll work with you to ensure you have plenty of time to sell your current home, so you can take the stress out of the process. 

At Applewood, you’ll have up to 120 days to sell your home from the date you pay your deposit. The settlement date can be adjusted if need be to coincide with the settlement of your existing property.

We’ll connect you with the real estate and downsizing experts

We’ll also put you in touch with real estate agents who can help you secure the best price for your family home. Additionally, if you need assistance with decluttering and packing for the move, we’ll connect you with the downsizing and moving experts to make your transition to your new home as stress-free as possible.

At Applewood, we believe your journey to retirement living should be a seamless and enjoyable experience. Our simplified buying process, along with our commitment to transparency and support, ensures that you can focus on embracing the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.
