Grenfell Survivors Offered Discounts On Homes Under New Ownership Deals

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.
