Buying a home

Buying a home doesn’t have to be a daunting process, there are options to make it easier for you to become a homeowner.

Buying your home  

To qualify for the Right to Buy, you must have been a secure tenant for at least 3 years. The home you wish to buy must be your only or main home. If your circumstances change, you must get in touch immediately. 

ForHousing deals with right to buy applications for tenants of Cheshire West and Chester Council. To start this process, please get in touch with us now! 

Buying a shared ownership home  

Fellow group member ForLiving offers new build homes for Shared Ownership, allowing you to buy a share in a home usually between 25% and 75%, at an affordable price. 

Rent is then paid on the outstanding share as well as any service charges or ground rents until you feel ready to buy more of your home.
