Homebuy Plus Scheme
Homebuy Plus is an affordable housing initiative funded jointly by the Golden Triangle Partnership (Leeds City Council, Harrogate Borough Council and the City of York Council) and Northern Counties Housing Association. The scheme can assist you with the purchase of a home you buy outright on the open market, in the Golden Triangle area.
Resales
From time to time we are notified when people wish to sell their discounted sale or shared ownership properties
Shared ownership homes
Shared ownership homes are often called 'part-buy, part-rent'. You buy a share in a property whilst renting the remainder from a housing association
