Full research note
Resident shares in capital gain: the brochure's own 'Terms of Occupation Licence - Disclosure Statement' comparison table lists 'Share in Selling Price increases (Gain Share): Available' (noted as rare in the industry). Capital LOSS risk sits with the Village, not the resident.
When you are repaid
'Repayment is made when villa is sold, but interest is accrued after 6 months if villa is unsold.' Weekly fee/outgoings stop within 1 month of exit (vs industry norm of 'when sold, or after 6 months').

Research note
This operator discloses unusually generous terms versus its stated industry norm: gain-share available to residents, capital loss risk borne by the village, no administration fee, and a 90-day money-back guarantee. FAQ page itself had no numbers; all figures came from the brochure's dedicated disclosure-statement comparison table.
