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
After living in your home for a while you may be able to buy it at a price lower than market value thanks to the Right to Buy (RTB) scheme.
You have to meet a certain conditions and have held your tenancy for at least 3 years, so it may not apply to you.
ForHousing deals with Right to Buy applications for tenants of Cheshire West and Chester Council. The best way to find out whether you can buy you home is to contact us if you would like to find out more.
Buying a shared ownership home
ForLiving builds high-quality homes for shared ownership and invests profit back into ForHousing. Shared ownership allows 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.
