Information How do I get an affordable home?
Content
To find out if you qualify for an affordable home to rent from the council or a housing association you must register through Devon Home Choice. For further information please visit our how to apply for a council or housing association property web page.
If you are looking to buy an affordable home there are a number of different schemes available including shared ownership and equity loan schemes. Schemes can be delivered by private developers or by housing associations.
You will need to find a provider that sells Shared Ownership homes in the area you want to buy. Most provider details will be available on GOV.UK - Providers You will need to search on each providers webpages to find properties of interest.
Some provider details will not be available on GOV.UK because their properties were not funded through a government funding programme. Providers will also advertise all available properties on at least at one of the following and therefore your search may include these websites:
- Zoopla or Rightmove
- Other UK property websites
- Estate agent websites
- Share to Buy
You will need to make an application to a provider if you are interested in one of their available homes.
