Life Rights Retirement Villages
Methodist Homes

Secure your future with a once-off investment and enjoy retirement living in a safe, welcoming community.

What are Life Rights?

A secure, long-term way to enjoy independent retirement living

Life Rights at Methodist Homes give you the lifelong right to live in your chosen home within one of our retirement villages, without the responsibility of property ownership.

This once-off investment secures your home for life, while allowing you to enjoy a community-focused lifestyle with added peace of mind.

It’s a simple, well-established model designed to provide financial certainty, security and comfort throughout your retirement years.

How Life Rights at MHA works

Simple, secure and designed for peace of mind

When you invest in a Life Rights unit, you are purchasing the right to occupy that home for life. This structure removes the stress of property ownership while ensuring long-term stability and predictable living costs.

The MHA difference

0 %

Up to 50% of the unit’s resale value is refunded to your estate after the 5-year period.

A repayment benefit designed with you in mind

One of the key advantages of Life Rights at Methodist Homes is the structured repayment model.

After a period of five years, a significant portion of the unit’s resale value is repayable to your estate, providing financial peace of mind for you and your family.

Unit values are reviewed annually on 1 April in line with market trends. When the unit is resold, the outgoing resident or estate is refunded based on the updated resale value at that time, rather than the original purchase price.

This makes Life Rights not only a lifestyle decision, but also a thoughtful financial planning choice.

"Love my home"MHA Resident - Patti Kokkinn
I was too young I thought to move into a retirement village. 7 years later I am so grateful and happy. Love my home and the freedom to lock and go as I please. You never know when health gets in the way and here there is support security and a lovely environment. So 60 pluses start thinking 🙏🏻
