Strombolis Retirement Village (SRV) functions on a Life Rights (LR) basis and in accordance with the Housing Development Scheme for Retired Persons Act. The Act stipulates that residents must be over the age of 50.
SRV is a non‑profit company and is managed by a Board of Directors elected by the residents.
Strombolis Retirement Village NPC remains the owner of the cottages.
A cottage acquired by means of a Life Right can only be occupied by the Life Rights owner(s) and may not be leased or rented (in whole or in part) to any other person(s).
On death or voluntary sale of the Life Right, currently 70% of the sale price goes to the LR owner or the estate of the LR owner. The normal model in the LR market is a percentage of the purchase price, which means that the LR owner does not share in the growth value.
The property market in the Western Cape is currently very buoyant. Gaining the bulk growth in capital value of the Life Right is an enormous benefit if you buy at SRV.
In synergy with the environment, the village is relaxed and informal, with few straight rows of houses or straight roads. Wide open spaces with many trees, together with beautiful gardens, create an atmosphere where one can find peace of mind. An earth dam with its immediate green surroundings attracting water birds and other birdlife, further contributes to a nature‑style environment.
