Liverpool City Council’s housing company is set to start
building homes for a new Rent to Buy scheme. The company, Foundations, will
start with a pilot of 14 new homes in Dingle in the south of the city if the council’s
cabinet approves the plans at a meeting on 21 June. People will be able to rent
a home at 80% of the market rate in order to help them save towards a mortgage
to buy the property, with the option to purchase after 12 months and for up to
five years at market value. The scheme will be available to people who live or
work in Liverpool and are first-time buyers or have had to sell a home because
of a relationship breakdown. Read more on the Speye Joe blog.
