Retirement Villages in Auckland
Retirement Villages in Auckland
This listing includes housing options specifically for people aged over 50: serviced
apartments, units, villas and cottages. It can help identify places that are within your
price range and offer the features you want. All prices include GST.
There is no government funding for village accommodation. You purchase tenure eg.
Occupation Right Agreement and pay an ongoing service fee. The fee usually covers
rates, insurance (excluding personal insurance), security, emergency call, lawns,
gardening and exterior maintenance. Check detail, as each village is different.
Serviced apartment fees are generally higher and include additional services such as
meals, housekeeping, personal care, linen and power. Some packages do not allow
you to access publicly funded personal care such as help with showering.
The following resources may be helpful for residents and intending residents:
The Law Society
Good legal advice is vital. The Law Society website www.propertylawyers.org.nz lists
lawyers experienced in retirement village work.
The Retirement Commission
The Commission site www.retirement.org.nz has useful information including a
summary of the Retirement Villages Act 2003 which provides safeguards for residents.
If village management is not able to resolve a financial issue, residents can appeal to
the statutory supervisor who acts as an independent 'watchdog' for the village. Contact
details for the supervisor are in the disclosure statement. Disputes not resolved within
the village can go to an independent disputes panel. The Retirement Commission
appoint and publish lists of panel members.
The Department of Building and Housing
This government department has responsibility for public education on legal
requirements for retirement villages. If you have questions, phone 0800 83 62 62 and
ask to speak with someone who has specialist knowledge of retirement villages. Visit
their website at www.minhousing.govt.nz/rv-residents-information
The Retirement Village Association (RVA)
Check if the village is a member of the RVA. The association has a code of practice
and offers an alternate complaint process. Their website www.retirementvillages.org.nz
has resident information or you can phone them on 04 499 0449.
