Visited a friend & found her place really roomy & well thought out as far as styling.

The perfect business model or a con? My understanding of the operations of Lifestyle sa. Established by a teacher, architect and a builder. The builder Fairmont Homes - Known for underpaying or not paying contractors - Brags about donations to political parties when being convicted of drink driving. - Known for low quality builds - Gets approval to build 11 retirement villages. - Alters plans without council approval. - As soon as the build is considered finished hands over the village to another of his companies Lifestyle sa. - On the condition that any faults or unfinished work is done by the operator, Lifestyle sa. The operator, Lifestyle sa - Says anything to get a sale/lease. - Underpays staff by some 2 million dollars. - Refuses to consult residents about changes. - Repairs all faults and faulty, poor work by the builder at the expense of residents. - "Buys" the residents committee/incorporated association by paying for their lawyers twice at lease. - Then allows an incorporated association to take over all the duties of the residents committee except for the consultation with the operators. Note incorporated associations are for invited membership ONLY. Take all profits of the social activities and pays for incorporated association's members social outings, SARVRA memberships and newsletters ...no benefits available to non-members. Incorporated Associations are also not part of any contract or the Retirement Villages Act and Regulations. BUYER BEWARE INDEPENDENT LIVING, FULL DISCLOSURE AND TRANSPARENT OPERATIONS IS FALSE AND MISLEADING ADVERTISING. - The various directors are constantly fighting amongst themselves and making changes and conflicting statements. - The contracts are changed without consultation. - All upgrades to units are paid for by a Capital Item Replacement Fund but are not available to the existing residents that contributed to the CIRF. ☆ Lifestyle sa according to statements made at SACAT, Lifestyle sa run their business with no overheads. ☆ Residents pay for the total cost of running the head office which is used primarily for sale. ☆ That the village office, staff, utilities, equipment etc is used for sales and sales is the priority of the village office. ☆ That upon leaving the village Lifestyle sa take upwards of 50% of the releasing/sales price again upgrading the units for sale. - That is charging 3 times for the sales, advertising, and sales staff and equipment. The perfect business model. • Run a business with no overheads at all. • Make sure you have clients that .are old, may have dementia, or better still die after a couple of years. The quicker the turnover the more profits for Lifestyle sa and the directors. • Don't keep promises or contracts. • Offset all cost onto clients at the point of sale, during the contract and again as selling or releasing. • During the lease period do as little maintenance as possible, get the residents or "volunteers" to do the work one would expect to be covered by the maintenance fees. • If a client complains tell them to they can always leave, so Lifestyle sa can make even more money. • If the client is stupid enough to believe in justice and goes to SACAT. The person presiding can argue operator's case, then make the decision/order on those arguments. Don't believe anything you are told, certainly don't believe the contract is the same for every resident, that there is full disclosure, transparent operations and well balanced mechanism for dispute resolution. I am fed up with all the inaccurate Lifestyle sa AGM minutes, deception and breaches of the Retirement Villages Act and Regulations, that the governing authorities refuse to do anything about and changes to contracts without written agreements. 😡
**Lease agreement ? ** Untrained Staff are ☯️ 🙈 Unbelievably Sands are taking down Solar Panels ??? (See photo) Before signing the lease ensure that the following are written into lease & importantly left for your enjoyment :- * hedges untouched for privacy. *Solar panels. (removed without explanation)🙄 *Pavers. *Curtains & external Shatters. *Bench tops. *Caravan storage. * Talk to residence on Mondays only for inside info. *Bear in mind that on your lease $ you only receive 50% should you leave after 2 years. Office employees tend to become abusive if you stand up for your rights. Many residents are not happy with current Employees.
Quiet, beautiful surroundings
