Prices

Properties at Hartfields are available for purchase, part-purchase (referred to as shared-ownership) and rent. This means that there are options available to suit various financial circumstances.

There are two purchase price options:

1) Target Price - original property value
2) Sale Price - original property value reduced by £10,000

The prices for each property type are listed below and are based on properties with full balconies. Prices for properties without or with 'Juliette' balconies are available on request.

Target price Sale Price
£165,000 £155,000 Cottage
£140,000 £130,000 Apartment - two-bedrooms plus
£130,000 £ 120,000 Apartment - two bedrooms
£120,000 £110,000 Apartment - one bedrooms

It may be possible to part-purchase a property, owning a share of between 10% to 90% and paying a rent on the remaining percentage. This is subject to your financial circumstances and terms and conditions apply. Financial examples are available on request.

When you leave Hartfields, we will buy back your property within 14 days of it being vacated and guarantee to pay the original value that you paid, even if the market value has reduced.

However, the price option you choose determines the arrangements for repayment of any equity growth, if the value of the property has increased. If you have selected the Target Price option you will receive 40% of the increase in value of the percentage of property you own. But if you have selected the Sale Price you will only receive 40% of the increase in value which is greater than the original Target Price.

Each household will also pay a Management and Maintenance Charge of £17.60 per week, Service Charge of £32 per week and a Support Charge of £20.10 per week.

Rent (Tenancy)
£92.80 per week Cottage
£87.80 per week Apartment - two bedrooms plus
£85.70 per week Apartment - two bedrooms
£77.80 per week Apartment - one bedroom

(All figures applicable until 31 March 2010)

Rents are set in accordance with the Tenant Services Authority criteria for 'affordable housing'. This means that they will be within the criteria for Housing Benefit, for those people who are eligible to claim.
