Housing Solutions
Homes for People has a number of creative solutions to support lower income households into home ownership.
The construction of compact homes on smaller pieces of land ensures that our homes, at market value, are in the lower quartile of homes for sale.
Residents often purchase our homes because they wouldn’t be able to buy any other home on the market. They may have the assistance of a regular bank mortgage but some residents have been accepted for our assisted home ownership programmes:
- HomeSaver, a ‘rent-then-buy’ programme for households who are not yet able to access a mortgage.
- HomeforLife for households who have a significant level of equity but not the income to access a mortgage.
- Sometimes we work together with people who already have a home or land to find a win-win solution.
