£100k Homes

£100K Homes are one-bedroom homes available to buy at £100,000. They will offer an affordable step on the property ladder for people who live or work in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

It is a more affordable home ownership option than other models, such as Shared Ownership and this is because purchasers will own 100% of their home and as such, will have no additional rental payments to make.

The affordability of the property will also be secured for future purchasers in perpetuity.
