Research note

No page on hbh.org.nz itself (checked homepage, sitemap, /homes/apartments/, /why-hbh/) carries fee detail; all figures above came from the 26-page Sales Information Booklet PDF linked off the Eldernet listing page (Sales Book August 2026.pdf (eldernet-resources.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com)). That booklet explicitly states the actual 'ORA and Disclosure Statement documents' are drawn up by HBH's solicitor and sent to the purchaser's own solicitor at Step 4 of the purchase process, i.e. the disclosure statement is supplied privately per-purchaser, not published as a standalone PDF online.
