Eligibility
Interested buyers will be required to have an assessment with the Scheme Manager to ensure they are suitable for Extra Care and that their needs can be met by the scheme.
To use the on-site care team, residents are required to have their needs assessed by West Sussex County Council Adult Social Care team. This will determine how much care the resident needs and what they will need to pay. The care team are on site 24 hours a day to administer commissioned care, but will also respond to emergency calls.
To be eligible for Extra Care Shared Equity you must meet the relevant age criteria for the scheme, this will either be over 55 or over 60. Please note the minimum share available is always 75% and rent is not payable on the unowned share.
To apply, please complete the following steps:
Applicants must complete an expression of interest form and arrange to view the property.
Upon request, applicants must provide supporting documentation noted on the Expression of Interest form so a thorough affordability assessment can be carried out. It is a Saxon Weald requirement that applicants have a maximum of £500,000 available to them in savings, assets and sale proceeds at the time of applying. Applicants who exceed this amount will be automatically declined unless there are exceptional circumstances. Please ask for further details.
If the affordability assessment is successful a Scheme and Care Manager assessment is to be carried out.
On successful completion of both assessments above, applicants will be issued with a formal offer to purchase which will need to be accepted alongside a reservation fee of £500.
