The Government will retain a share of the property value. This must be repaid on sale or transfer of your property.

Repayment of the share is based on open market value at the point of sale or transfer, if the sale price is higher than the value, then the repayment is based on the sale price.

As a mortgage is secured against your home, it could be repossessed if you do not keep up the mortgage repayments.
