Downsizing shouldn’t mean giving anything up

At Avington we believe your retirement years should be rewarding — not complicated by hidden costs.

That’s why we’ve taken a clear stand: No exit fees. Ever.

Unlike some other retirement communities that take a cut when you leave, Avington lets you keep 100 per cent of any capital gains. It’s your investment — and it should stay that way.

What Are Exit Fees?

Exit fees (sometimes called deferred management fees) are charges that some communities apply when you leave or sell your home. They’re often based on a percentage of the home’s sale price — and over time, they can significantly reduce the money you walk away with.

At Avington, we don’t believe that’s fair. You’ve worked hard for what you have. We’re here to support your next chapter, not profit from your exit.

Why Downsizers Choose Avington

• No Exit Fees, No Worries

Rest easy knowing there are no unexpected costs when it’s time to move on.

• Full Value, Fully Yours

Retain 100 per cent of your capital gains — a smart choice for you or your family.

• Clarity from Day One

Our simple, transparent financial model puts you in control.

At Avington, there are no exit fees, no surprises, and no unnecessary stress. It’s a simpler, more secure way to downsize — and one that respects what you’ve worked so hard to build.

Enjoy life at Avington, an over-50s lifestyle community offering modern, low-maintenance homes without compromising on comfort or style, designed for those ready to ‘rightsize’ their retirement. The heart of the village is a state-of-the-art clubhouse, where residents can unwind in the heated indoor pool, catch a movie in the private cinema, challenge friends on the bowling green, or stay active in the fully equipped gym.
