Some of the new homes will be available as affordable rent properties. Once they are complete, you will be able to register your interest via Home-Link.
The rest of the new homes will be available through a shared ownership scheme. Before these homes are complete, they will be advertised privately.
All of our new homes are built to high specifications and are energy efficient, with double glazed windows. Some homes also have solar panels or are powered by air source heat pumps.

All properties will be advertised through Home-Link a few weeks before their completion. The shared ownership properties are advertised through William H Brown. For further details, please email SCDC@williamhbrown.co.uk.
