Tenants in Enfield could be eligible for money towards buying their own home as part of the Government’s 'grant to vacate' scheme.
Enfield Council is urging people to take advantage of the offer which could enable council tenants to receive grants of £40,000 if they move from a one-bedroom home, £50,000 from a two-bedroom home and £55,000 from a three-bedroom home or larger.
Councillor Ahmet Oykener, cabinet member for housing, said: “I cannot stress enough how important it is to get applications in fast. We have funding up to March 14 and want to be sure that we use it.”
To apply either go to www.enfieldhomes.org to download a Grants to Vacate application form, call 0800 4080160 and ask for Filiz Mustafa or Debra Adeyemi, or email ehgtv@enfieldhomes.org and choose the rehousing option.
