We still have properties available to both buy and rent, and are looking for new members to join our growing community.
For Sale
2 x 1 bedroom apartments are available for Shared Ownership leasehold purchase – ready for occupation from Spring 2023. Applicants will need to check their eligibility with the Government‘s Help to Buy Scheme.
These flats can be purchased leasehold at between 25% and 75% of the Open Market Value, which is currently indicated to be £175,000. You then pay a monthly rent on the balance. The lowest capital share of the flat you can buy is 25% (£43,750) and the highest is 75% ( £131,250).
If your financial resources allow at a later date, you can increase your capital share – and reduce your rent – by ‘stair casing’ that share up to a maximum of 80%.
For Rent
1 x 2 bedroom house and 1 x 3 bedroom house are still available for SOCIAL RENT– you need to register on the Dorset Housing Register to apply for any of these houses, which will be ready for occupation in spring/early-summer 2023.
