Buyer & Seller Information

Please know that Aberdare Estates is governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA). The HOA board is made up of a small group of neighborhood residents who meet bi-annually to discuss community upkeep, common ground maintenance & projects and home exterior presence. Please know that there is an annual due of $500 per year per resident, collected April timeframe. Also, note that from time to time, the HOA board may decide to undergo a project or repair requiring a special cost assessment which will be invoiced separately.

It is important that your client is made aware of the By-Laws & Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CCRs) as set forth by the Homeowners Association. It is required that all homeowners and residents abide by these conditions, ensuring stabilization and an increase in property values while maintaining the aesthetics and appearance of one of the premier subdivisions within the Village of Gurnee and surrounding areas. All potential buyers should review the HOA Compliance page found HERE. Other By-laws and CCR documents can be found by clicking on DOCUMENTS above.

Upon the sale of a home, the seller is responsible for paying $50 for a PAID ASSESSMENT LETTER. This letter confirms that all HOA dues are current and that there are NO LEANS by the HOA in place. This letter can be ordered by sending a request using the message tool found HERE.

Also, at the time of the sale of the home, a TRANSFER FEE (currently $250) is paid by either the buyer or the seller. There is no written rule, it can be negotiated between parties, but generally paid by the seller.

Swimming pools, fences and unsightly yard art are highly discouraged and fall under strict guidelines as set forth by HOA By-Laws & Covenants. Solar cell panels (rooftop or land-based) are not permitted.
