Local Authorities
Important Role
Merlion Homes prides itself on playing an important role in helping local authorities deliver affordable housing.
Merlion Homes is privately funded and, therefore, has no grant requirement. This enables local authorities to spend their limited funds on the greatest housing needs. Our policy of targeting prospective purchasers in housing association homes and rented accommodation also means that local authorities can use existing rented stock.
Merlion Homes is happy to provide 100% nomination rights on all its affordable housing to the local authority and to agree detailed qualifying criteria to ensure that buyers have local connections either through residence, family or work.
