Strata titled house and land packages released by Belswan
SOME people wish to enjoy all the bene ts of a lifestyle village, but rather than having a life lease, prefer to have their own strata title house and land. To satisfy this demand, particularly for baby boomers, Belswan Pinjarra is releasing a limited number of strata titled blocks and homes which allow purchasers to take advantage of the com- bined federal and WA state grants of $45,000. With this incentive, potential buyers can have a new home from just $299,000, giving them a titled property with all the protection off ered under the Retirement Villages Act. The Belswan Village has exceptional facilities, too numerous to list. When people take into consideration the growth of amenities in Pinjarra itself, you can’t fail to see the advantages of this off er. With good connections both to Perth and the south, it’s well worth taking the short trip to check out both the village and the town, whether it’s for yourself or perhaps your parents or relatives. Give Robyn Craig a call on 0418 464 269 to set up a convenient time to take a tour or get an information pack. You’ll nd the experience well worthwhile.
