Keyton

Just finally sold dad's house he had with Keyton,12 months, Lakeside village Bonnels Bay NSW. The process was very painful. Exit fees where outrageous. We engaged a solicitor, luckily. They wanted to charge $80000 to renovate 2 bathrooms and paint. Solicitor advised the cost of renovation was not my dad's cost but Keytons. Staff very pushy, found… Read more

them hard to deal with and very little information given in regards to the sale process. I would never recommend or purchase anything from Keyton after the dealings my family and I have had. Buyer be very wary. Better to avoid them altogether.

Sadly I give one star, although the staff and grounds are lovely woodlands park Keyton as a company have dropped the ball. As they haven’t complied with govt legislation residents in villages with embedded electricity networks are unable to install solar panels or batteries. No-one from head office has reached out to us. Our village manager has… Read more

been very helpful unfortunately her hands are tied. So far we have missed out on $6,000 in govt rebates and are debating whether to stay.

My father entered a Keyton/Lendlease Retirement Village in Vic and everything was good until it came time for him to sell and move into aged care. We found their sales team to be very intimidating and bullish in their approach. They were quoting $100,000 to renovate a small 2 bed unit and were quoting a sales price to prospective purchasers below… Read more

market value. They failed to honor previous commitments and were very unpleasant to deal with. I will NEVER enter a facility such as this. Buyer beware!!

Keyton-Elliot Gardens South Australia – Having read the previous reviews and being a resident of Elliot Gardens in South Australia, it appears State boundaries mean little. Most certainly read the fine print but you may for whatever noble reason think you are doing the right thing for a relative. The hype certainly does not keep with the reality. Fees are rising rapidly, transparency… Read more

is poor and little is done by management to explain. The financial reality of exiting is horrendous. Thinking of selling up and buying into it, think carefully.

Absolutely abysmal – My Mum purchased a lendlease in a Kenton retirement village 7 years ago. Due to illness she was unable to care for herself and needed to vacate the vila. The process, time taken, absolute lack of response/assistance and the cost has ensured that I will never again have a dealings with Keyton or their connections again. My Mum and all involved have… Read more

learned a harsh lesson. Avoid and if you must, read the fine print and get advice on when this is no longer suitable and other living arrangements need to be made. Without significant cash reserves you will be stuck. In addition, expect the financial outcome after the sale to be significantly less than the original purchase costs.

Biggest rental rip-off!! – What a bunch of sharks. Talk about ripping off the elderly. You should be ashamed of yourselves!!

The Pines Ellenbrook WA – I could write a book about my experiences living here. I am one of the few to escape. Looks good, spacious units. High fees. Hard to get maintainance and much of it is inefficient. So many rules, managers variable . Lots fees if you leave. Many say they are trapped here by exit fees. Unprofessional real estate office on site. Buyers beware
