Why do I need to apply to be included on the Home2own register when I have already been accepted onto a Housing Association waiting list?
The Home2own register is for anyone interested in low cost home ownership, all housing associations in the South West use our register to contact applicants who meet their criteria for properties they are selling. Therefore once you are registered with Home2own all housing associations developing in this area have access to your application. The Home2own register is not for rented accommodation.
The HomeBuy Agent's role is to offer a 'one stop shop', offering a service to qualifying applicants enquiring and applying for low cost home ownership. Home2own offers information about housing opportunities. The HomeBuy Agent will assess eligibility and priority of applicants.
Applicant information will then be passed to housing associations, developers and local authorities on request when properties are being marketed. The 'one stop shop' ensures that applicants have greater access to various housing opportunities in the area they would like to live regardless of any local authority or housing association waiting list where their names are registered.
