Are the rents we charge Affordable?

Affordable Rent was introduced by the Government to allow providers to charge up to 80% of the local market rent.

The rent we charge will be no more than 80% of the market rent, but may be lower depending on location.

This means that homes will remain more affordable than renting privately.

We will review any agreement on a regular basis to ensure we are delivering an excellent service for our residents.

What is Affordable Housing?

Affordable housing is housing for sale or rent, for those households whose needs are not met through open market housing.

“Affordable Housing” is defined in the National Planning Policy Framework and this includes the products that we provide.

What is Shared Ownership?

Shared Ownership (SO) involves buying a share of a home. The legal way that this is achieved is by you buying a leasehold property.

Capture Housing will sell you from a 60% share of the property and Capture Housing will own the other 40% share.

You will pay Rent to Capture on top of any mortgage. As a result, Capture charge 2.25% rent on the share we own to make sure it is Affordable for residents and to cover our administration costs only.
