Retirement Village Lawyers for Village and Manufactured Home Park Contracts

Moving into a retirement village or a manufactured home park is usually a choice made after years of thought, yet the paperwork that comes with it is long, technical and often signed in a hurry. As retirement village lawyers acting for residents across Brisbane and South East Queensland, we review residence contracts, site agreements and disclosure documents before you commit, for individuals, couples and adult children helping a parent weigh up the move.

Village and park arrangements are governed by the Retirement Villages Act 1999 (Qld) and the Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Act 2003 (Qld), and no two operators’ documents read the same. We work through the entry costs, ongoing fees, exit costs and the rights and obligations you take on as a resident, then explain in plain English what each one means for you. As manufactured home lawyers, we also look closely at site agreements in residential parks, where you own the home but not the land it sits on. Your matter is handled by a solicitor who specialises in retirement village law, manufactured home parks and lifestyle communities, so the advice comes from someone who works with these arrangements as a core part of their practice. The goal is for you to sign with confidence, knowing where you stand before the documents become binding.

Before you sign a residence contract or site agreement, let us read it with you first. Call (07) 3808 7777, email business@mclaughlinlawyers.com.au or send us a message through our online enquiry form.
