Self Build Loan Fund Testimonial
|
“ We have been very pleasantly surprised by the personal and professional service we received from Neil and Morven. Neil, as the main contact person, has gone out of his way to help in many ways at every step throughout the process and has kept in touch throughout.
We are now excited to be well on our way to having a beautiful house in a fabulous location, something that would have been impossible without the assistance of the Scottish Government Self-Build Loan Scheme. This is a wonderful scheme for which the Scottish Government and Communities Housing Trust deserve full praise and appreciation. A big thanks to everyone involved.” Read more testimonials and case studies at Self Build Stories. |
Discounted House Sales Testimonial
“I live and work in Dornoch and my two youngest children attend school here. I didn’t think it would be possible for me to buy a three-bedroom house in this area that I could afford on one salary. So I was delighted to be offered the property in Elizabeth Crescent by CHT at 20% below market value. The work CHT does is invaluable in an area like Dornoch. Tourism is a lifeline here and we are incredibly fortunate to live next to the beautiful Royal Dornoch golf course, but without affordable housing for local people, many houses are beyond what some can manage. I am so grateful to be able to live close to my work in such a lovely part of the world.”
Greener Homes Scheme Testimonials
"I was delighted when I heard I was lucky to secure a home through the Greener Homes Scheme. I had looked at other housing options beforehand and the cost of a mortgage and running costs of other properties would have been financially challenging for several years. All is all it's a brilliant scheme which enabled me to have a foot on the property ladder sooner rather than later, thank you." |
"My wife and I are extremely pleased that this option was available to us. We absolutely love our new home and enjoy the small community aspect. We have had many small community events which have included Halloween parties for the children, 4th July events and many summer BBQ,s. We enjoy the setting very much our views are stunning. As for financial aspect this has been great, affordable allowing us to save our deposit to buy. We have used one electric heater a handful of times in the bathroom after having a shower during the worst part of winter. Other than that we have never needed to use our electric heaters in any other rooms as the log burner seems to heat the whole house. Very satisfied with our new home." |
Rent To Buy Scheme Testimonials
"It is a fantastic opportunity to buy our first home in a time period that would of been unrealistic without the scheme. It's comforting to know that there will be the option to buy after the initial renting period and time and money spent on the house is in effect benefiting us." |
"The CHT are the best at providing houses for those who can't afford their own or in my case a house to move around and enable me to get outside on my own, something I would not have been able to afford ourselves. |
"We absolutely love this property and it has enabled us to stay in the community we love and continue to contribute to local projects. We feel safe in the knowledge that we will be future owners and can afford the mortgage. If it were not for the scheme we would not have been able to buy in our community." |
"This scheme has made an enormous difference to our family. We finally have a home that feels like our own! It allows us to work towards home-ownership from a stable and affordable platform." |
