Survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire will be offered
special homeownership deals, including significant discounts on the purchase of
new properties by the government and Kensington and Chelsea Council. In a
letter to former residents of the tower, housing secretary James Brokenshire
and Kim Taylor-Smith, deputy leader at the council, outlined the two offers.
The Enhanced Portable Discount will allow residents to use a discount to buy a
home on the open market anywhere in the country apart from the one they
currently live in. It will involve discounts of up to £160,000, £50,000 more
than the Right to Buy. Residents will also be offered the Grenfell Assisted
Home Ownership Scheme. Read more on Inside Housing.
