Private property voluntary acquisition

A local authority may operate this scheme. The eligibility will depend on whether there are sufficient funds available to provide the discounts, the property is included in the scheme and if the applicants qualify.

This is intended as a general guide as there are no schemes operating at Carlisle City Council at the present time

Voluntary acquisition schemes normally operate in conjunction with a registered social landlord. A property may be voluntarily acquired from a private owner, for renovation and letting through a registered social landlord.
