Homes to buy
Longhurst Group is a leading independent
provider of affordable homes for anyone wanting to get onto the
property ladder.
We specialise in offering shared ownership,
which is a flexible, low cost way of helping people who are unable
to purchase a suitable home on the open market. Shared ownership
involves buying a share of a home, usually with a mortgage, and
then paying a rent for the remaining share to one of our member
companies. Over time, you can increase your share or even buy the
property outright in some cases. People can also take advantage of
schemes that allow them to rent first before buying.
Despite the challenges of the economic
downturn and cuts in public subsidy for new house building, we
continue to deliver a strong development programme of affordable
homes for rent or shared ownership through the Blue Skies Consortium, supported
by our highly respected development and regeneration
team.
We also have a strong track record of
innovation when it comes to building new homes, as well as a
Group-wide commitment to reduce our impact on the environment as
shown by the approach we take to sustainability.
