FAQ

Good questions.

Who can buy an affordable home?

30% of homes are sold under the city's affordable purchase scheme to first-time buyers with a household income below the scheme limit. Homes are allocated by lottery among eligible applicants.

Can I buy to let?

No. To keep the quarter a place where people live, all buyers sign a self-occupancy clause for the first five years.

Where do I park?

There are 140 spaces in the mobility hub at the edge of the quarter, available to buy or rent. Inner streets are car-free, with access for removals and emergency services.

When does phase two launch?

The Twine and Spindle Tower launch this spring. Registered buyers receive the price list one week before the public release.

Can I rent a workspace as a resident?

Yes — residents get a 10% discount on studios and desks in the Loft, and free use of the meeting rooms for two hours a week.
