Our commitment to you

Village outgoings payment guarantee

We will not adjust the village outgoings payment by more than the CPI (consumer price index) each year, regardless of any changes to the operating costs of the village.*
This gives you certainty about your living costs.

Village contribution capped

Our village contribution fee will be capped at 30% of the entry fee.
This will allow you to move to another home within the village without incurring an additional village contribution fee.

No capital loss

We guarantee that the amount repaid to you will not be affected by a decline in the value of your occupation right for the home.*
This gives you certainty that you will not be exposed to any capital loss on re sale of your occupation right for the home, regardless of the state of the housing market at the time.

Natural disaster guarantee

In the unlikely event that we could not rebuild the home you occupy following destruction of the home, we will pay back your entry payment with no deduction of village contribution.
This gives you certainty that you can move on following a natural disaster.

No hidden cost

There are no hidden costs when we on sell your occupation right for the home.
We will provide FREE of charge the services required to on sell your occupation right for the home, ie sales, administration, marketing and refurbishment (except where there is more than fair wear and tear to the home).

Continuity of care

We guarantee that you will be granted priority access to any Sanderson Group care facility if you so choose.
You and your family can have peace of mind knowing you may access a higher level of care through a Sanderson Group care facility should you require it.

Changing your mind

Should you change your mind within 15 working days of signing your occupation right agreement, then we will cancel the agreement and refund your deposit in full.
This gives you the opportunity to change your mind if your circumstances change and you decide it is better if you do not proceed.

Money back guarantee

If you are unhappy with your decision to move into your new home and after a period of 6 months you wish to leave the village then we will resell your home and repay your entry payment in full.*
You will have peace of mind knowing how confident we are that you will be more than happy with your decision to move into one of our villages.

Family values

We are a family-owned company and are committed to upholding values like trust, honesty and compassion which we were raised to believe in.
This means you will be treated with courtesy and have your rights respected by us.

Sanderson Group story

Family owned & operated

The Sanderson Group was founded in 1987 by Fraser Sanderson who passionately believed people should enjoy freedom and security in their retirement, along with the rewards of their own hard work.

He decided to build a village of luxurious homes and first-class communal facilities for people to enjoy and his innovative approach has completely changed the standard of retirement living in New Zealand.

If something’s not good enough for Fraser and his own family, it’s certainly not good enough for Sanderson Group village residents. Meticulous attention to detail and an eye for the very best locations has seen this business flourish and multiple villages have been established over the past 30 years.

Several of Fraser’s children now work within Sanderson Group alongside their father. Together they are committed to helping other families make the transition into retirement and ensuring people’s comfort, happiness and well-being are always the top priorities.
