Lifestyle Estate FAQs
Find answers to your questions about living at our Lifestyle Estates in our FAQs.
Do I own my home?
At Lincoln Place Lifestyle Estate, you own your home and pay a Weekly Site Fee for the land your home occupies.
Am I able to access Federal Government Rent Assistance?
Eligible homeowners can access Federal Government Rent Assistance towards their Weekly Site Fee. We recommend that you contact your local Government agency to confirm your eligibility.
Am I protected by any government legislation?
Because you rent the land on which your home sits, you enjoy the rights and protections afforded by the Residential Tenancies Act (2010).
What is the Weekly Site Fee and how is it paid?
The Weekly Site Fee includes the lease of the land your home occupies, your access to amenities, and maintenance of common areas. It is paid fortnightly by direct debit.
Will I have other ongoing costs?
When you live at a Lincoln Place Lifestyle Estate you will pay your Weekly Site Fee, as well as utilities such as water, telecommunications, and electricity charges. Please read the homeownership guide for information for each specific community.
Are there any exit fees payable?
At any Lifestyle Estate by Lincoln Place, no exit fees apply.
Deferred management fees apply at Officer Lifestyle Estate and Kangaroo Flat Lifestyle Estate. Please contact the relevant New Home Advisor for more information.
Can I have friends and family to stay?
It’s your home so of course you can have friends and family to stay.
Can pets live in the community?
Your pets are part of your family and are very welcome in our community. All pets must be registered and we ask that you complete a Pet Registration Form with our Community Manager.
Who collects the rubbish?
Rubbish collections occur weekly for general rubbish and fortnightly for recyclables. Garden rubbish can be removed by calling our Community Management team, who will gladly assist.
How is the mail delivered?
Mail is delivered to the community and placed directly into your mailbox.
Who maintains my home?
The beauty of our homes is that they have been designed with low maintenance in mind. Like all homes, there are some regular maintenance tasks we suggest to keep your home in the best possible condition.
Can I customise my home?
If you are purchasing a new home off the plan you can work to customise your home from our range of approved options, subject to availability. You can make any changes inside of your home within the Community Living Guidelines. You may be required to obtain relevant council planning and building approvals. Structural changes or changes to the external colour scheme are not permitted.
What happens if I sell?
If you decide to sell your home you can appoint any agent of your choosing to do so, whether that be an external agent or our in-house New Home Advisor. 100% of the capital gains are yours to keep!
Deferred management fees apply at Officer Lifestyle Estate and Kangaroo Flat Lifestyle Estate. Please contact the relevant New Home Advisor for more information.
