Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Land Lease Community
What is a Land Lease Community
A ‘Land Lease’ community is a wonderful lifestyle option where you buy and own your home and lease the land – It’s the ideal choice if you want to live in a secure, impeccably designed and brilliantly appointed community with likeminded people.
What are the benefits of a Land Lease Community like Vantage?
There are lots of unique and wonderful benefits to living at a Vantage community.
- There’s no stamp duty on your purchase which keeps that money for you to put towards other things.
- Homes in the community cannot be rented out so you have confidence in knowing and being familiar with your neighbours.
- Common areas and facilities are maintained as part of your Site Agreement and fees, meaning much less maintenance for you.
- As a gated community, you’ll feel a sense of safety and security.
- Amenities, landscaping, design and street appeal are all carefully planned so you have everything you need onsite and peace of mind knowing what will be built and when.
Do I have to be retired?
No, you don’t need to be retired to live in a Vantage community. We welcome people who are working full-time, part-time or are enjoying retirement already.
What is it that I own in a Vantage Community?
Do I own my home?
Yes, you own your home and pay a lease (the ‘site fee’) for the land on which it’s built. As the homeowner, you’re also protected under the Site Agreement which is governed by the laws of the state your Vantage community is in.
Do I own the land?
No. You only own the home, and the land is owned by Vantage. You enter into a long-term lease on the land your home is situated on, and the site (lease) fee not only gives you exclusive rights to occupy that land, but also the right to use the residents’ facilities and amenities in your community.
What are the benefits of leasing land?
There are some major benefits in leasing the land. You don’t pay any stamp duty on your purchase; there are no local council rates or other government charges; and all the common areas, facilities and landscaping are maintained by the Community Management Team as part of the Site Agreement.
What's the difference between leasehold and freehold?
Your rights as a long-term leaseholder with Vantage are very similar to the protections offered by freehold titles but without the associated costs. There are no body corporate fees or council rates to pay, but you’re still protected by the relevant state laws.
Is there a stamp duty on my purchase?
There is no stamp duty to pay as there is no transfer of land title, since Vantage retains ownership of the land.
What are my rights as a leaseholder?
As the owner of the home and leaseholder of the land, you enjoy exclusive occupation to your home and yard, as well as access to all the residents’ facilities provided by your Vantage community.
What is a Site Agreement?
Your Residential Site Agreement is the contract between you and Vantage, giving you the exclusive right to occupy the land in which your home sits. The agreement – which is governed by the relevant state laws – sets out each party’s rights and responsibilities and the ongoing fees that apply.
Can I obtain finance for my home?
In most cases, it can be difficult to get typical finance or a mortgage to buy your home at a Vantage community, which is why most residents are cash buyers.
However, we do recommend that you speak with financial or trusted advisor regarding your financial options when thinking about joining a Vantage community.Is my home secure?
Yes, your home is located within a gated community surrounded by like-minded people.
Can I include my home in my will?
Yes. Because you own it, your home forms part of your estate assets. The beneficiaries of your will can sell the home and all capital gains will be returned to them or to your estate.
Can we buy a home in the name of a family trust, company or children’s names?
All homes are owner-occupied and we recommend you obtain legal advice if you’re thinking about buying via a trust or entity other than in your own name.
Can I keep a pet?
Yes, pets are part of the family and are welcome at Vantage communities. There are some practical guidelines and considerations around keeping pets which are covered in the Vantage Pet Policy.

No. There are no additional fees to pay, including legal fees. Of course, you’re welcome to engage a solicitor at your own expense if you choose.

No. A key benefit of a Vantage community is that there are no exit or deferred management fees. This means that, when you sell your Vantage home, the capital returns and profits go back to you or your beneficiaries.

If you choose a private real estate agent, you’ll need to negotiate the selling commission with them, just as you would with any home sale.
