House Sales Scheme Equity Sharing Option Consultation
The closing date for receipt of comments is 26 October 2008
The Department for Social Development has launched its consultation document on proposals to extend the House Sales Scheme which is operated by the Housing Executive and Registered Housing Associations. The changes will provide tenants with the opportunity to buy a share in their home through an equity sharing option. The document sets out the proposed circumstances in which tenants may buy part of their home from either the Housing Executive or a Housing Association.
The document can be found on the department website in the consultation zone. The existing House Sales Schemes can also be found on the Department’s website.
Alternative formats of the consultation documents including a hard copy can be made available if required. Requests should be made to the following address or by phone, or email.
