Residents urged to register for discount housing
Published: 07/05/2021
COPELAND residents interested in purchasing a discounted home in the borough are invited to register their interest.
Under its Discounted Sale scheme, Copeland Council holds details of residents interested in purchasing a ‘discounted’ property – sold at up to 80 per cent of their market value – and then informs residents on the register when qualifying properties become available.
Residents who cannot afford to buy on the open market, who have a local connection to the parish or town and meet other qualifying criteria, will be prioritised initially for discounted housing.
