NDIS FAQ
Can I purchase an NDIS property through a SMSF?
Yes, single-contract purchases can be made in an SMSF, and two-part contracts can be purchased as normal house and land purchases.
Is there anything special I need to do/setup when purchasing an NDIS SDA investment property?
A family trust is worth considering for holding this type of investment because of its tax benefits, but we suggest you speak to your accountant or financial advisor for advice that suits your needs.
How long will it take to build an SDA home?
We allow around six months to build an NDIS SDA-approved home. This will start once the Council approves the plans.
Is there a Builder’s warranty for the property, if so, How long?
Each home is offered a 6-year structural builder’s warranty dated from practical completion. This warranty covers structural items and faults of the original workmanship.
Is there an expected warranty for fixtures and fittings?
There is a 12-month maintenance period on the build, so any maintenance issues or defects that come to light within this period are the responsibility of the builder to fix and repair at no additional cost to you. Fixtures and fittings are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty applicable to each item, e.g., Oven and cooktop.
Who finds suitable tenants for each property?
SDA Manage Australia (SDAMA) is a specialist property management firm that works with NDIS Service Providers to assist their NDIS clients in applying for and being placed in suitable Specialist Disability Accommodation. This process starts as soon as the property has been registered with SDA and the commencement of the build, with the goal of having the property occupied as quickly as possible after it is completed.
