Full research note
Partially addressed, not a clean answer: FAQ states "You'll still receive your entry payment minus the pre-agreed village amenities contribution" if the home resells below the original purchase price, i.e. resident is protected on the downside minus an amenities contribution, but the FAQ text fetched does not state who keeps gains if the home resells above the entry price.
When you are repaid
No fixed day-count published. FAQ states only the trigger/mechanism: "You will receive payment once the new, incoming resident has completed their purchase."

Disclosure statement (the village's summary of the deal)
Not published online. The law says the village must give you one before you sign an occupation right agreement (the contract that lets you live there), and it sets out every fee. Ask for it early.
What would you get back?
For comparison only, the calculator shows what you would get back at 25% and 30%, the most common exit fees among villages we have checked. They are not this village's fees. Before weekly fees and any other charges.
