The HCA (Homes and Communities Agency) has just produced a really useful list of Frequently Asked Questions relating to HOLD, clearing up many of the misunderstandings that people might have about the scheme.
Whether you’re a potential buyer, a Housing Association, Care Provider or Local Authority it’s packed with useful information, clearly and concisely explained. It’s always worth reiterating that, if you have a disability and rely on benefits for your income, the HOLD scheme can give you the chance to buy a home of your own from the ‘open market’ (generally through an Estate Agent), with the interest repayments being covered entirely by your existing benefits. So it’s perfect if you want or need to live in a particular location or style of property that might not be readily available through an existing Housing Association development. Contact us to find out more.
This is the heart warming and inspirational film (brilliantly produced by Satye Films) of Sophie who, together with Cornwall Partners in Policy Making, we were privileged to have worked with to help her buy a home of her own.
If you rely on lifelong disability benefits for your income it may be possible to do just that.
Wishing all of our home owners and supporters a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
