Australian retirement villages typically use one of four contract types: loan-licence, leasehold, strata title, or land-lease (for over-55s lifestyle communities). The contract you sign determines who owns the home, how exit fees (DMF) are calculated, and what happens to capital gains. Operators publish their contract type on claimed profiles. Read our guide to retirement village contract types and ask each village to walk you through their residence-and-management contract before signing.

Key factors residents in Bayswater typically weigh: contract type and exit-fee structure (the DMF can be 25–40% of resale price), weekly service fee, accommodation type (independent unit, villa, serviced apartment), proximity to family and medical care, on-site amenities, and resident demographics. Twenty questions to ask on a village tour is a good starting point. Visit at least three villages, talk to current residents, and have a contracts lawyer review the disclosure statement before paying any deposit.
