Ownership & Tenure

There are a number of different sale or tenure agreements used by Keyton for Ardency properties. 

When you decide to purchase a residence in an Ardency property, the Sales Manager will meet you face-to-face and provide you with a contract, as well as further explain the costs involved.

Please take the time to review the contract thoroughly, obtain independent legal advice and talk to your friends and family. 

Of course, we are also here to answer any additional questions you may have.

Understanding Service Fees

No matter which contract option you choose, it’s important to note that you will pay ongoing service fees that cover the day-to-day operating costs of the Ardency property. 

As the owner of Ardency, Keyton does not profit from these service fees, but they are a standard part of independent living and include things such as the Ardency Management staff, utility costs for common areas, and garden and property maintenance.

Change your mind with peace of mind

We want you to be confident that you’ve made the right decision. 

If you decide that living at Ardency is not for you within your first six months of living in your residence, you can end your contract, move out and we guarantee to refund the price you paid, free of DMF charges. All you’ll pay is fair market rent and service fees for the duration of your stay and costs to repair any damage above fair wear and tear. 

When is the best time to move?

Everyone's situation is different; if you're over 55 and love the idea of reducing home maintenance and continuing to enjoy a neighbourhood you know and love, there's no reason why you shouldn't consider an Ardency property. While there are no disadvantages of moving too early, waiting too long may mean you miss out on making the most of the facilities, convenience and friendships that can be formed. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you want to find out more about living at Ardency and how to choose an Ardency property that is right for you? This is the place for you. Read on to find out the answers to these and more frequently asked questions.

A retirement living  property is a community of residences and facilities designed for anyone who is over 55 years old and still active enough to live independently in their own home. As a resident of an Ardency property, you will benefit from added security, a community environment and additional features like community facilities and customisable services.

An Ardency property is suitable for a person who is 55 and over, whether retired or still working part-time.

Yes, absolutely. We have many residents who are still actively working while living in an Ardency  property. 

Retirement living operators in Australia might be privately owned, not for profit or publicly listed companies. Each state has its own Act for the operation of villages within that state. Keyton is a highly credible, publicly listed Australian company, that has been building communities since 1966.

An Ardency property is designed for people over 55 who can live independently in their own home while enjoying the shared facilities and benefits of retirement living. In contrast, residents who live in residential aged care facilities (including nursing homes) require a level of daily care for their health and safety. Entry into government funded aged care is based on an assessment by a government-appointed Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). 

This is your home, so friends and family are most welcome to stay with you. Of course, other residents appreciate the fact that they know who their neighbours are, so for extended stays, residents need to talk to their Ardency Manager and let them know who is staying and for how long. For example, if your visitor is staying more than 14 days, it will need to be documented and discussed with the Ardency Manager.

Absolutely. We offer personalised and private tours that allow you to explore the property and become familiar with the facilities on offer. Call us on 1800 723 723 on click here to arrange your personalised appointment.
