New Developments Round Up

Saxon Heath 1

Muir has strengthened its commitment to deliver good quality, affordable homes for people with the handover of two new developments.

 

In Tarvin, Cheshire, Muir recently took handover of 8 brand-new properties on the Saxon Heath development, which are available for affordable rent through the Trust Home Choice scheme – all of which have now been allocated.

 

One of the most pleasing aspects of Saxon Heath is that it will have a true community feel. Muir has been working closely with the local Parish Council to ensure that people with strong links to Tarvin are being given priority when it comes to letting the properties.

 

Saxon Heath 2 Muir recently held an open day at the scheme, where people could have a look at their potential new home.

 

We have also delivered nine-new family homes in Northwich, as part of the Cheshire Limes development. Cheshire Limes features a mixture of affordable housing options, ranging from homes available for affordable rent, to our shared ownership scheme – again, all six of the shared ownership units have been reserved from plan.

 

Keep an eye out for updates on both developments on our Facebook page.

 

 

Shared Ownership explained

Now, more than ever, it can be difficult for first time buyers to get their feet onto the property ladder. However, Muir’s Shared Ownership scheme is a great and cost-effective for people who are looking to buy their first home. The scheme allows you to part-buy a share of your chosen property, then pay an affordable rent to Muir on the remaining share.

 

Shared Ownership is open to anybody who is looking to buy their own home.

 

We will give priority to people who are:

  • Aged 18 years and over
  • First time purchasers
  • People with local connections (i.e. employment or family nearby)
  • People whose relationships have broken down and have limited funds to buy a property on the open market.
  • Not able to afford to buy a home outright on the open market
  • Can show their ability to afford monthly costs relating to a shared ownership purchase.
