Information about affordable housing developments in Solihull
Solihull Council is committed to providing more affordable housing to meet local housing needs. The following developments have planning permission or are on site now. These are for Shared Ownership (part rent /part buy). Further schemes will be added to the schedule as they receive planning permission.

The Council works closely with housing associations to deliver a range of affordable housing across the Borough. Housing association contact details are provided at the foot of this schedule.

Contacts and Further Details
For Rented properties
Rented properties will be advertised through the Solihull Home Options scheme, along with available Council properties.
You should therefore contact Solihull Community Housing on 0121 717 1515 or email info@solihullcommunityhousing.org.uk to apply to go on the Housing Register. Direct contact can also be made to the housing association.
For New Build HomeBuy and Shared Ownership properties
The housing association should be contacted directly. They will send you further details and a form to be completed so that they can assess your eligibility and what you can afford.
New Build HomeBuy and Shared Ownership are particularly useful to those with a regular income, but who cannot afford to purchase a home in Solihull. You buy a percentage of the property (normally between 25% and 75%) with the rest being owned by the housing association. The housing association will charge rent on the share that it owns. Over time it is possible to buy further shares in the property and own it outright.
