How to Choose a Retirement Village in North West
Life rights vs. rental
Life rights mean you buy the right to live in a unit (not ownership). You pay a lump sum upfront and monthly levies. On exit, you or your estate typically gets back 70–100% of the purchase price, minus a retention fee. Rental villages charge monthly rent with no upfront capital, which is better if you don't want to tie up capital or if your stay may be short-term.
Location and accessibility
Consider proximity to family, hospitals, shops, and places of worship. Check that the village is close to a day hospital or has an on-site clinic. In Gauteng, traffic can make a 20km distance feel very far, so think about who visits most often.
Continuum of care
The best villages offer a continuum: independent living, assisted living, and frail care on the same campus. This means you don't have to move to a new facility if your health deteriorates. Ask whether the village has its own frail care or a partnership with one nearby.
Financial health of the scheme
Ask to see the latest financial statements and the body corporate's reserve fund. A village with deferred maintenance or low reserves may hit you with special levies. Check whether the levies have increased significantly year-on-year.
