Archer Beckenham Village | Christchurch

7.5% per year, accruing over the first 4 years of occupancy, to a maximum of 30% of the original purchase price. Quoted from archer.org.nz/frequently-asked-questions/: "an annual fee of 7.5%, over the first four years of your occupancy in the village, with a maximum deduction of 30% of the original purchase price." This figure is identical across every page fetched (home, properties, FAQ, and all three village pages), so it applies village-wide, not per-villa.

Accrues annually at a flat 7.5% of the original purchase price for each of the first 4 years of residency, then stops (caps at 30% total, i.e. fully accrued after year 4, no further DMF increase for residents who stay longer). On top of the DMF, a separate 3% transfer fee applies if a resident moves between Archer villages, and an "administration fee" (covering legal costs, statutory-supervisor costs, and marketing/resale of the unit) is deducted from the exit payout, its percentage/amount is not published on any page fetched.

Not a single fixed figure, residents choose between two options at entry, stated identically on every village page: (1) Variable: $160.00/week at entry, rising each year by no more than the percentage increase in NZ Superannuation; (2) Fixed: $186.00/week, fixed for the resident's entire occupancy with no annual increase.

The operator keeps 100% of any capital gain. Quoted (identical wording on home, properties, Beckenham, Thorrington and Maryville Courts pages): "Archer Villages do not offer residents a share of any capital gain, and any potential loss is borne solely by Archer Villages." So gains accrue to Archer; losses on resale are also absorbed by Archer, not the resident.
