New Life Community Services unique value.

New Life Community Services designed its Retirement Centres around community as a core and caters to all levels of affordability. We did this through a Life Right Development model where typically the cost of a unit is lower than what you would pay for a house, sectional title or apartment of a similar size, and most importantly to ensure good governance and guarantee of essential services.

Why Life Right?

Life rights developments are growing in popularity in South Africa. They offer a more cost-effective and less onerous option for retirees than an investment in regular property types. The biggest advantage of the Life Right model is that the decision-making process with regards services and management lies in the hands of the non-profit. Who have a heart for the elderly and their well-being unlike sectional-title body corporates who are always trying to reduce costs at the expense of essential services desperately needed by the elderly.

Essentially Life Rights could be viewed as a housing product, an insurance policy and a good night’s sleep all rolled into one. With a lower financial barrier to entry, than a sectional title or freehold house. Life Rights are an attractive option for those living on a fixed retirement income. The Life Right purchase is a purchase of peace of mind. ‘Life Right’ refers to a property contract whereby a resident enjoys the same privileges as if the home was purchased in a freehold or sectional title basis. This means the security of tenure until death. As such, much like in a marriage.

Life Right purchase is a cash purchase – there are no bond registration fees, no transfer duties and no VAT payable, thus avoiding the negative effects that such additional costs can have upon discretionary income and estate values.
