Retirement Homes
Residential homes or communities intended for people planning their post-retirement living. Confirm whether the property is available for purchase, lease or a service-based stay.
A retirement home is a residence selected for post-retirement living. Depending on the project, it may be an apartment you buy, a unit you lease, or accommodation offered as part of a managed service.
Three common arrangements
- Purchase – you buy the home and hold ownership rights, subject to project rules.
- Lease or rent – you occupy the home for a period under an agreement.
- Managed service stay – you pay for accommodation and services. This resembles hospitality or care rather than property ownership.
What to verify
- Which arrangement applies to the unit you are considering
- RERA/HARERA registration, where applicable
- Resale, transfer and inheritance rules
- Who manages the community and delivers services
- Monthly maintenance and service charges
