🌼 Thinking about buying in a Retirement Village, Over 50’s Lifestyle Resort or Community Living? 🏡

If your current home feels a little too large or no longer suits your lifestyle, you may be considering a move to a retirement village, an over 50’s lifestyle resort or a modern community living village. These communities offer comfort, connection, security and a vibrant social lifestyle, all designed to help you enjoy the next stage of life with ease.

Whether you’re seeking low maintenance living, great facilities or a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere, there are many wonderful options to explore.

Each village or lifestyle community operates under its own framework. You should gather all available information and take the time to read through it carefully. Understanding the structure helps you make a confident, informed decision.

Retirement living is a niche area of property law. Having the right guidance makes the process smooth and stress-free.

We've helped many clients move to beautiful homes at Ingenia, Palm Lakes, Aveo, Halcyon, GemLife, Noyea Riverside, Seachange and many more!

Our most recent clients have purchased lovely homes at Ingenia Lifestyle Bethania, Palm Lake Resort Bethania, GemLife Palmwoods and Palm Lake Resort Pelican Waters.

We can manage both the sale of your home and your new home purchase, so they settle simultaneously.

Contact us if you have any questions or to discuss your move to retirement living.

Anti-Money Laundering / Counter Terrorism Financing - new legal requirements for all Buyers and Sellers

On 1 July 2026, the amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF) came into force. All Solicitors, Real Estate Agents and Buyers Agents have now become reporting entities and must comply with the AML/CTF regime.

If you're planning to buy or sell property, this is an important legal update that all clients should be aware of.

From 1 July 2026, all Buyers and Sellers must now complete ID verification and an AML questionnaire as part of every property transaction – for each company that you deal with.

Here’s what this change means for our clients in practical terms:

FOR SELLERS
You’ll now be required to complete:

• your standard seller questionnaire and forms
• formal ID verification
• AML questionnaire

These checks will be completed as part of the sale process and help to confirm you are the legitimate owner, prevent fraudulent or unauthorised listings, and ensure your property can be marketed and sold without compliance delays.

FOR BUYERS
You’ll now be required to complete:

• your standard buyer questionnaire and forms
• formal ID verification
• AML questionnaire

This occurs as part of the buying process and is similar to the checks your bank already requires. It protects you from identity fraud and ensures your purchase can proceed without compliance issues.

WHAT TO EXPECT
These requirements are now part of Australia’s national AML reforms and are designed to prevent property transactions being used to conceal illegal funds. They apply to every Buyer and Seller, regardless of the value or type of property.

The process is straightforward but does involve additional steps compared to previous years. Most Solicitors, Agents and Buyers Agents will be using secure, digital platforms to manage:

• ID verification
• AML questionnaires
• document uploads

This ensures the process is compliant, consistent and easy to complete.

The Australian Government has published detailed information here:
https://www.austrac.gov.au/industry-and-business/about-amlctf-reforms/about-reforms

Information about how the new AML requirements apply to your transaction will be included in our client information packs.
