Life Rights Contracts

A Life Right is the purchase of the right to live in a specific unit. It is a real right, giving one the security of tenure for the remainder of one’s life. In South Africa, The Life Rights scheme has been officially recognised by the Housing Schemes for Retired Persons Act of 1988. An advantage of Life Rights is that there is no transfer duty or VAT payable on Life Rights, reducing your up-front costs, as there are no title deeds and no registration fees.

2. Physical Security – Security must be transparent and outlined in the agreement. E.g. Electric fencing, 24 hour guards, CCTV cameras, panic buttons and emergency armed response.

3. Health Security – The contract must be clear regarding health care in your unit before moving to retirement facility. Is there a nurse call facility and 24 hour emergency care? Where is the closest frail care facility?
