Fixed for the duration of residency, FAQ: 'The weekly fee will be fixed for the duration of time you spend in your villa or townhouse (unless you choose to pay for additional services such as care or housekeeping).' No dollar amount published; page says the 'Sales Manager can advise the current weekly fee.'

When you are repaid

Disclosure statement (the village's summary of the deal)
Not published online. The law says the village must give you one before you sign an occupation right agreement (the contract that lets you live there), and it sets out every fee. Ask for it early.
What would you get back?
The exit fee builds over 4 years to 30%. The calculator spreads it evenly over those years; the exact schedule is in the fee notes above. Before weekly fees and any other charges.
