Barnet’s council tenants are being offered a helping hand to
buy a home of their own in a campaign by north London social landlord Barnet Homes. Tenants who want to buy a home of their choice on the open
market could receive a maximum cash grant from Barnet Homes of £29,000 towards
their property purchase anywhere in the UK.
The campaign, which has £400,000 available to fund grants until April
2013, is designed to help increase the supply of homes to rent to families in
housing need in the borough.
Applications for the cash incentive grants are being accepted now and
are given on a first come first served basis. The grant does not have to be
repaid. Tenants could get:
• £18,000 for tenancies between two and five years with two
or more bedrooms
• £26,000 for tenancies longer than five years with two
bedrooms
• £29,000 for tenancies longer than five years with three
bedrooms or more.
