What You Need To Do
If you're a Care Manager working with somebody who has
a disability who would like to buy a home of their
own, you need to:
- Familiarise yourself with our consumer
website
- Discuss the opportunity with the person concerned,
their parents/carers and the person they trust (who may
be appointed as their Attorney or Receiver following your
positive assessment). All of these people should be directed
to our consumer
website in order they may understand the
opportunity.
- Carry out an assessment to see if the person would have
their needs better met if they moved from their current
accommodation into a home of their own. Your assessment
is needed to access the Income Support that will pay the
mortgage interest and the Housing Benefit to cover the
rental portion of the Shared Ownership Home.
- Establish whether the person has sufficient mental
capacity to understand the transaction on their own; whether
they have the sufficient mental capacity to appoint an
Attorney; or whether they have insufficient mental capacity
and need to appoint a Receiver
- Identify a support provider from your existing suppliers
or request that we nominate one
- Arrange for payment of the fee of £1,500 on completion
of the transaction and arrange for any re-charge, or confirm
who we should contact at your Local Authority to organise
this
- To record the results of your assessment, please print
this form - Care Manager Assessment Form. If you're unable
to print this form, please contact
us and we'll send you a copy of it.
- Once your form is complete, please sign and return
it to us at our Freepost address
We will do the rest!

offered by Shared Ownership Homes, please contact
