NO MORE MAINTENANCE
When living at The Signals, all residents are required to pay a contribution towards the running costs of the facilities, support services and maintenance of the building and grounds. You may find you are currently putting off many general home maintenance tasks as they are too difficult to complete, or you may be paying a premium for someone else to complete them for you.

WHAT IS OLDER PERSONS SHARED OWNERSHIP (OPSO)?
This scheme works in a similar way to Shared Ownership meaning that the purchaser buys a share in a property – usually between 10% to 75% – then pays a subsidised rent to a housing association on the remainder. This means that monthly costs are often much smaller than a full mortgage or privately renting a home, although this is not a guarantee.

You can choose to buy more shares in your home as and when you can afford to. As you buy more shares, your rent will decrease.
If you choose to staircase to the maximum 75% share of an OPSO home, you will no longer pay any rent on the remaining 25%.

ELIGIBILITY

If you choose to apply for the Older Persons Shared Ownership scheme, the general eligibility criteria is:

- You must be aged 55 years or older.
- Your maximum household income must not exceed £80,000.
- You should be unable to purchase a home suitable for your needs without assistance.
- You do not already own a home, or you will need to sell any existing property owned before purchasing through the scheme.
- You will need to have sufficient savings to pay the share in full if retired.
- You must not have any outstanding credit issues such as unsatisfied defaults or county court judgements.
