More than just a new home
Ingenia Lifestyle operates under a land lease model, which is increasingly becoming one of Australia’s most popular downsizing choices.
The land lease ownership offers a simple and transparent framework, where you purchase a home while leasing the land.
Therefore the two key costs to consider are the cost of the home and the rent on the land.
No need to pay stamp duty, community levies, council rates or strata fees.
Most importantly, there are no exit fees or deferred management fees (DMF) and residents keep 100% of any capital gains.
Ingenia Lifestyle
Ingenia Lifestyle is part of the Ingenia Communities group.
It’s our vision to create Australia’s best lifestyle communities. Whether it’s a place to live, rent or just visit for a holiday, we create communities that always feel like home, where people are free to enjoy life however they choose.
As an ASX 200 listed operator and market leader in land lease communities and holiday parks, we carefully pick the best locations across the country to create communities that make the most of the great Aussie lifestyle.
With over 95 communities across Australia, including holiday parks, rental communities and independent living land lease communities, we strive to deliver on our promise to enrich the purpose and meaning in the lives of Australians through their lived and leisure experience.
