If your parents are below age 55, they only need to refund the principal and accrued interest back to their OA.
If they are above 55, they have to refund the principal, accrued interest and top up their RA up to the full retirement sum. This sum is fixed at the year they turn 55. However, they can still use their RA savings above the basic retirement sum to buy their next home (remaining lease must be able to last the youngest buyer until age 95). They can keep the remaining cash proceeds (if any) after the refunds to the respective accounts.
