Councillors say they are ‘immensely proud' to increase the opportunities for people to get on the housing ladder
Broxtowe Borough Council is set to roll out shared ownership properties for the first time. The authority wants to increase the opportunities for people in the borough to get on the housing ladder.
During a cabinet meeting Cllr Vanessa Smith said: “I’m quite excited about this and we’ll be taking ownership on some of those fairly soon. They’re giving people an opportunity to get on the housing ladder where they might not have been able to previously.” One key change being brought in for shared owners is the ability to claim back some repair expenses from the council. Within the first 10 years of shared ownership, residents can claim back up to £500 each year from the council for repairs covering essentials such as water, gas, electricity, pipes, drainage and heating water.
