Norfolk Place

Norfolk Place is a 44 apartment retirement centre which has been developed and owned by St Luke’s Hospice NPC on a portion of its existing property on Harﬁeld Rd, Kenilworth. The apartments are in two separate 3 storey buildings situated on either side of the well-known Norfolk Pine in front of the existing St Luke’s Combined Hospices building.

About Norfolk Place Retirement Complex

The motivation for this development was twofold, firstly to raise funds to ﬁnance the ongoing work of St Luke’s Combined Hospices, and secondly, to maximise the use of its existing property for the beneﬁt of elderly/retired people. The first residents took occupation in November 2000. Norfolk Place offers an independent lifestyle which encourages residents to continue their interests and activities but from a smaller home base. It provides a secure and affordable way of spending one’s retirement years within a caring and supportive community of staff and fellow residents. Norfolk Place is managed by Norfolk Place Management Association. All residents are automatically members of the Norfolk Place Management Association and elect four members to serve on the committee each year.

How Do The Levies Work?

All residents pay a monthly levy to Norfolk Place Management Association to cover the running costs of Norfolk Place. Residents are responsible for meals, telephone, water and electricity, and the DSTV subscription fee which are all included in their monthly levy statement. The main costs within the levy charge are security, staff salaries, primary healthcare and catering overheads as this is outsourced.

How Do Life Rights Work?

Norfolk Place is sold on the well-known Life Right basis. Local retirement projects which use Life Right include Woodside Village, Rondebosch, Pinewood Village, Pinelands Larmenier Village, Tamboersklo of, Peers Village in Fish Hoek, CPOA developments e.g. Constantia Place, Good Hope Park in Mouille Point, and Rathfelder and Trianon in Diep River.

Life Right is a legally acceptable form of “ownership”. Purchasers are protected by the provisions of the Housing Development Schemes for Retired Persons Act No 65 of 1988 which requires, inter alia, for the title deeds to be endorsed with the fact that a retirement project has been erected on the property. St Luke’s Hospice, as the owner of Norfolk Place, adheres to the Disclosures as stipulated in the Act.

How Does One Purchase A Life Right In Norfolk Place?

A Waiting List for those interested in retiring to Norfolk Place was opened in 2003. One completes an Application Form and submits it together with a non refundable Listing Fee of R1500 to St. Luke’s Hospice. There is no age limit to joining the Waiting List. People younger than 65 can join the Waiting List which secures where they would like to retire in the future, even if only in 10 or 15 years’ time.

Join The Waiting List

The Waiting List is operated in strict chronological order dependent on the date of receipt of the Waiting List Fee.
However one is able to decline an offer of accommodation as we know that one comes to Norfolk Place when one feels the time is right.
A Newsletter is sent out to every Applicant in March each year indicating each person’s updated position on the waiting list, new prices and levies for the year agreed by
St Luke’s Hospice NPC, and general update information about Norfolk Place and its activities.

Who Qualifies To Be A Resident?

One needs to be at least 65 years of age to be offered an apartment, the spouse/partner may be younger. As it is a modern independent lifestyle retirement development, it is important that new residents are ﬁt and well, able to manage their homes, ﬁnances and live independently, and be able to beneﬁt from and contribute to the lifestyle offered. New applicants should be aware that they may need to wait at least 5 years to be offered accommodation of their choice. Although there is a wide variety of unit sizes, one doesn’t know what will become available for resale and when. It is therefore advisable to indicate various accommodation types on the Application Form, which widens the options.

How Does One Purchase A Life Right?

A “purchaser” acquires the right to live in an apartment for his/her life and that of the surviving spouse (i.e. current spouse). The purchase price is returned on termination of the Life Right Agreement. The Agreement is for a maximum of two people. A 10% deposit is payable on signature of the Life Right Agreement (which includes Conduct Rules and Constitution). The Balance of the Purchase Price is due on the agreed date as stated in the signed Life Right Agreement. There are no transfer or conveyancing costs. Late payments incur interest charges.

Because of the Waiting List and the number of people waiting to move into Norfolk Place, rentals are not possible. No sub-letting is permitted. On resale the seller or Estate is refunded his/her original purchase consideration less any cost to reinstate the apartment to its original condition, fair wear and tear excepted. The resale proﬁt is retained by St Luke’s Hospice NPC to (i) subsidise levies and shortfalls, if any, in the running costs of Norfolk Place, and (ii) ﬁnance its work in the community with regard to helping the terminally ill.
