I was with some clients last week and they were discussing how one of their parents had just purchased a home in a retirement village. The costs were ridiculously high for the property they purchased. The cost was $700,000 for a 10 square home with a carport for one vehicle with management fees every week on top of the $700,000.

The rip off doesn't end there, the monthly fees like body corporate fees in a normal strata title unit, the management fees are payable even if the unit is empty and waiting to be sold.

Families are complaining that fees are demanded for months and sometimes years after the death because the unit can't be sold.
Even if the property can be sold more management fees are taken from the sale price and in some cases 100% of the sale price is charged.
