Life Right Explained

Purchasing a Life Right cottage in Kidbrooke Place means residents have the right to the exclusive use and occupation of a dwelling unit in the village for their lifetime. A Life Right amount, as applicable to the specific unit, is paid prior to occupation and, on resale, the full original amount is refunded to the resident’s estate.  The profits made from higher resale values are used exclusively for the benefits of the village. Refurbishments are done to all our units on the exchange of ownership.

How does the waiting list work?

Please contact Kidbrooke Place Sales to apply for Life Right purchase.

We highly recommend joining the waiting list as soon as possible, as cottages in Kidbrooke Place are very sought after and are sold quickly. All would-be Life Right purchasers complete an application form and pay a non-refundable registration fee to join the waiting list. Applications are ordered by application date, and cottages are offered strictly in this order. Medical and financial details are required before signing the Agreement; on acceptance of the purchase offer, a 10% deposit is payable. The cottage is refurbished for the new owner, and the balance of the payment is due upon occupation.
