Description
Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, The Highland Council and Communities Housing Trust are jointly pioneering this community-led development as part of the wider Kilbeg Village project in Sleat. The project aims to support intergenerational living, alleviate social isolation, and foster cultural community spirit

PROPERTY SPECIFICATION
The exterior of the home is finished in an off-white wet dash and partial larch board cladding with a slate roof.
The walls, ceilings and finishings are painted white throughout.

The kitchen units have been selected from Howden’s Greenwich Stone range (or similar).

The property benefits from a private garden, enclosed to the rear and open at the front, and two parking spaces.

The sale price of the property is £169,500. This sale price reflects a 32.5% discount from the market value, as the title of the property is subject to a Rural Housing Burden, details on back page.

ALLOCATION CRITERIA
Communities Housing Trust allocate properties based on a community led allocation policy. The main principles of the allocation policy will be based on the eligibilty criteria set out below

The home must be your only and permanent residence and should be suitable for your current housing needs, where your finances permit.

Mortgage Finance
We will undertake a financial assessment to ensure that you are likely to secure a mortgage. Whilst you can approach any lender to secure a mortgage, you will find that some lenders do not accept the conditions applied to the homes to protect the affordability element (ie: the Rural Housing Burden).

We strongly recommend that you take financial advice before entering into any commitment to purchase a property in order to be satisfied that the appropriate mortgage products will be available to allow you to complete any purchase.

Apply

    ​Complete the online application form before the closing date.

    CHT will assess the applications we receive from interested purchasers. Applicants who satisfy the criteria will be invited to submit supporting documents for Stage 2 of the application process and given a deadline for this information to be received. Applications that will end at Stage 1 will be notified by e-mail.

    All Stage 2 applications will be reviewed and CHT will confirm an offer to the successful applicant. Arrangements will be made for an accompanied viewing of the property.

    The purchaser will then be required to instruct their Solicitor to issue an offer to CHT Solicitors, Murchison Law, 5 Ardross Terrace, Inverness, IV3 5NQ to purchase the property and a settlement date will be agreed.
