Rules for Havenlyn Residential Retirement Park

Havenlyn is a retirement park which means only those of the older population are permitted to live on this park.

Any resident selling their property is required to show potential buyers the full rules of the park.

When selling your home 90% of the sale goes to the seller with 10% commission to the site owner which is paid by the buyer.

These are incorporated into your agreement and breach of any of these rules is therefore a breach of the agreement.
