At Fairway Villages, you OWN the land title and the home, and the title will be in your name only. It is your own home. You will also have unlimited use of all common property , parks and amenities, which is included in your Contact of Sale. This is a strong selling point for your home if you decide to leave the village at any time in the future.
Fairway Villages are different. There is no “Lease for Life” - and that means there are no Deferred Management Funds, Sinking Funds or Profit/Capital Sharing with anyone if or when you sell your home. Every cent of the sale proceeds is yours (less standard Real Estate Agent’s fees) - your home is an investment that benefits you or your family - and no one else.
You own your home, and you can sell it at any time. You make arrangements in the same way you would when selling any home or property you own. You engage an agent, advertise your property, identify a buyer, accept an offer and bank you proceeds. However, we believe that those who buy into Fairway Villages will be there for many years!
Fairway Villages is the Developer. The founding vision is that ownership is fairer, and your investment should not be shared with anyone else. Fairway Villages develop the land, build your home and market sell the property/fully integrated top to bottom.
When you buy in The Green, the purchase is completed in two stages:

1. The land is purchased first, and the title passes directly to you from the Developer on settlement. The Stamp Duty you pay is reduced by more than 50% because the duty applies to the land only.

2. You then pay progress payments as your home is built. This will be outlined in your Contract of Sale.
To be absolutely clear about this most important question:

• A FIXED PRICE contract is available meaning that regardless of the market moving, or building prices increasing, the price you pay is guaranteed and fixed in your contract.

• A deposit of 10% of the LAND price is payable when entering into a Contract to purchase the land.

• Your deposit is paid into the Agent’s Lawyers Trust Account awaiting settlement of the land. Once settled, the land title is now in your name and building commences.

• There are no hidden charges or costs.

Full details are available in the contract.
The Developer has adopted a budget for Strata costs which is set for the first 2 years – during which time the facilities will be built, and employees put in place by the Developer as per your Contract of Sale.
Weekly strata fees are paid by all residents. The weekly fee is the only fee paid by residents. These fees are very competitive with other villages, and what they cover is clearly set out in the contracts. Fees will not increase in the first 2 years. They are estimated to be $95 – $139 per week, depending on the price of the property, as well as the lot size. Full details are in your Contract of Sale.

* Please note - Strata fees are payable once the settlement of the land has occurred. This is a requirement under the Strata Titles Act and not the developer.
Absolutely! The Green is initially managed by a licensed Real Estate Strata Manager which has appointed a separate Management Company (MC).

Owners will constitute a Council of Owners & Occupiers (COO) of 7 members (after or during Stage 1 construction) elected from and by the owners and residents.

The MC will administer the common areas and common facilities in the interests of owners and residents, working with the COO and strictly in line with the contract budget.

The MC will also contract and employ the services and personnel required to operate the village.

Naturally, all Local, State and Commonwealth Government laws apply as they do everywhere else, and the Strata Manager is responsible for all compliance issues and accounts in line with the agreed budget in your Contract of Sale.
Security will always be better at a lifestyle village like a Fairway Village because of the number of residents and the nature of community.

All homes and Community Centres will have modern alarms installed as standard.

At the conclusion of all builds for, the residents can opt for security gates (subject to City approval).
The Strata Manager will insure all of the common property, including the Community Centres, Public Liability, Workers Compensation and all other general insurances. This is covered in your weekly fees. Homeowners will be responsible for insuring your home building and contents.
The Management Company (MC) will be appointed for a period of 10 years, with an option for a further 10 years, and this contract will be issued by the Strata Manager on registration of the Strata Plan.

The option will be in favour of the Strata Manager acting for the village in case the MC is not performing satisfactorily, and the 10-year term is to ensure there is consistency in delivering the full suite of services outlined in the Contract of Sale to the Village without exception.
While we are sure you will not want to leave for an extended period, should you choose to do so, you can lease your home to a qualifying tenant. Your tenants will also have normal access to the facilities.
Yes. Included in your weekly fee is an amount that is set aside by the Strata Manager in an interest-bearing trust account to ensure that by the end of year 5 there will be a substantial, growing fund specifically for refurbishment. When the village is at full occupancy it is expected the fund will total more than $450,000 after 5 years.
