Full research note

Entry prices (Kilmarnock Retirement Village only, via its eldernet listing): 1-bed villas from $598,000, 2-bed from $698,000, 3-bed from $950,000, with a $2,000 refundable deposit to secure a spot. kilmarnock.nz itself repeats only "Villas priced from $598,000*" with no breakdown. No weekly fee, deferred management fee, capital-gain, or refund-timing figures were found on any page actually fetched (operator homepage, village pages, FAQ, villas page, disclaimer page, or sitemap). Every village page references an "Occupation Right Agreement" and an "Info Pack - Download" button, but the Info Pack is gated behind a JS/form interaction (e.g. a "#infoPack" anchor) that a plain page fetch cannot open, so its contents (which likely include the disclosure statement) were not accessible. No disclosure-statement PDF link was found in the site's sitemap.xml or on any page checked. Per-village contact details surfaced instead: Abingdon (06 349 1400, manager Trish), Brightwater (06 356 4190, manager Christine), Coombrae (06 323 4491, manager Stephen), Kandahar (06 370 0662, contact Sharon), Reevedon (06 349 1409, agents Murray & Sue), Huntleigh (04 464 2118).

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.
