To maintain Ardency’s exceptional standards, residents contribute a monthly service fee, also commonly known as recurrent charges.

Unlike typical service fees, Ardency’s monthly service fees is charged on a cost recovery basis, as required by law. This means Keyton does not profit from the fees charged. It can be thought of as a transparent contribution to the running costs of the village.

The Ardency lifestyle does not just integrate the extraordinary into your day-to-day, it also helps simplify it. Many residents find that the monthly service fee offsets or replaces a range of other household expenses, such as gym memberships, insurance premiums, garden care and building maintenance. Some residents also enjoy savings in areas like home and car insurance thanks to added security onsite and personalised services. There’s also the convenience of having luxury amenities on your doorstep which you can enjoy every day

with ease, from swimming pools, gyms and wellness spaces to libraries, private theatres, restaurants and roof top terraces.

The monthly service fee varies between Ardency properties, depending on factors such as(but not limited to):

• size and layouts of residences;
• services and amenities offerings; and
• residence type and features

Every year, Ardency’s management team consults with its residents’ committees to prepare a transparent, annual budget that informs any adjustments to the service fee. It’s a collaborative process built on clarity and mutual respect.
