- OWN OR RENT YOUR SHARE -

AN INVESTMENT

Swakopmund Retirement Village offers an excellent investment opportunity, whether you buy for personal use, for a family member or as part of your property investment portfolio. Every unit is registered in the buyer’s name (or nominated legal entity) and forms part of their fixed assets. Units in SRV are sold as full ownership properties in a sectional title development and not as life right. Therefore owners have the right to nominate succession of ownership in their will.

In view of the growing demand for retirement properties, especially secure villages with on-site full care facilities, Swakopmund Retirement Village is expected to show exceptionally high growth in capital value.

In addition to the financial rewards, you can rest assured that you have safely invested in your retirement.
