How does land
lease work?
The land lease model
All Thyme Lifestyle Resorts are master planned land lease communities. This is a home ownership style where you own your home and lease the land it sits on, which is covered by a weekly site fee.
This model gives you full access to the community’s recreation and leisure facilities while claiming Commonwealth Government Rent Assistance, if eligible.
As this assistance can cover a significant portion of your weekly site fee, land lease living offers an affordable, secure, and vibrant lifestyle for over-50s.
Home ownership, made clear
Your home remains entirely yours and it can be sold at any time, either with our assistance, through an external agent, or on your own. It also forms part of your estate and can be passed on to your beneficiaries. If they meet the community criteria, they may even choose to live in it themselves.
Less fees, less stress
Beyond the weekly site fee, there are no extra costs outside of typical home ownership expenses. You’ll cover the usual utilities and services such as water, electricity, sewerage, internet, phone, and home insurance, just as you would in any other home. You also won’t pay stamp duty, council fees or other government charges.
