When deciding whether to live in Golden Harvest 2, the following points should be considered:

• Future residents must be in reasonable health, not requiring frail care in the short-term.
• Future residents must agree to a medical examination by a doctor for medical assessment.
• Applicants must be at least 55 years of age. In the case of a couple, one of the partners must be 55 or older.
• Future residents should be financially independent and should take into consideration that the levy is likely to increase on an annual basis, approximately aligned to the inflation rate.
• Future residents are expected, within their capabilities, to contribute to life and activities in the Village. Tolerance and friendly contact with neighbours is expected.
• This is a Share Block company and as such, payment in full is required on, or before occupation. It is not possible to register a mortgage bond over the unit. Residents must be financially capable of purchasing the unit on a cash basis.
• No animals are permitted in the Village.
• A registration fee of R200 is payable upon completion of the application form. Your name will then be added to our waiting list.

Please contact the office at least every six months to confirm your desire to remain on the waiting list. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes, so that we can contact you when a unit becomes available.
