HC Deb 23 February 1983 vol 37 cc462-5W
Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the housing associations which have been designated in each area of England to operate the do-it-yourself shared ownership scheme.

Mr. Stanley

The following are the names, and the areas they are each covering, of the housing associations that will be providing an opportunity for a shared ownership purchase in every area in England, through the new do-it-yourself shared ownership scheme that I described in the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Lichfield and Tamworth (Mr. Heddle) on 24 January.—[Vol. 35, c. 350–51.]

All job movers, tenants of local authorities or housing associations, people on their waiting lists or other first time buyers, unable to buy a property outright, wishing to obtain details of the do-it-yourself shared ownership schemes, should contact the housing association covering the area to which they want to move. Homes that are eligible to be bought under the DIYSO scheme are new or secondhand houses or flats costing not more than £40,000 in Greater London, £35,000 in the home counties and £30,000 elsewhere.

The list of participating associations may be varied from time to time as experience of the DIYSO scheme dictates.

I am placing in the Library a table giving the addresses and telephone numbers of all the following Housing Associations.
