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.
