 you place a first charge on the house (as if you were her mortgage lender) so when/if it does ever sell, you have first dibs on the sale money?  

Is there not a problem with this in that it could affect any benefits may be getting/entitled to. Or if sister needs to go into care, house could be sold and the charge thereon could be treated as "deprivation of assets". Proper legal advice clearly needed if this is to be contemplated

Not if this idea is followed - a loan against the property would have to be repaid whenever the house was sold.

There is a lot to consider,and legal advice would be needed,so thanks for pointing that out.I believe she does want to move,in which case I think she will have to lower her standards somewhat !
