Homeownership
Welcome to Paradigm's dedicated homeownership page.
Buying a home
Paradigm provide a range of home ownership options which include:
- Buying the home you rent - You may be able to buy the home you are renting with Paradigm's 'Right to Buy' schemes.
- Shared-ownership - Social housing tenants, people on their local housing register, key workers and first time buyers who can't afford to buy their own home on the open market may qualify to buy a newly built house or apartment on a part-buy, part-rent basis. This is known as shared-ownership
Homeownership
We use the term ‘homeowners’ for all our customers who are shared-owners, leaseholders, or fixed-equity owners and we recognise the importance that our homeowners place on receiving a high quality and cost effective service that meets their needs.
Here we aim to provide practical information, useful contacts, summaries of laws that effect lease-holding homeowners and general documentation. We know that homeowners have service needs and expectations unique to them and we want to ensure that our services are delivered effectively and professionally.
