7 Cumbrian Way, Millbrook, Southampton Look out for Cumbrian Way new build properties in this edition of Homebid The development seeks to revitalise Cumbrian Way and renew the physical stock of housing to better meet the city s housing need. The site is part of a comprehensive redevelopment programme for the Cumbrian Way shopping parade. The first new affordable rented homes are expected to become available from early Summer The 22 energy efficient homes comprise of: 10 x 2 bedroom, 3 person flats. These consist of a double bedroom and a single bedroom. Pets will not be permitted in the flats. 12 x 3 bed, 5 person houses. These consist of 2 double bedrooms and a single bedroom, and all benefit from a downstairs toilet, plus a garden with a shed. All of the affordable homes will be designed to meet Lifetime Homes standards which allows for the homes to be adapted easily if the need arises. The flats however do not have lifts so people with mobility difficulties may not be suitable for above the ground floor. One parking space will be allocated to each unit. There are no additional spaces; therefore if you have more than one vehicle in your household, this will need to be parked off site. Radian allocate homes in accordance with the Housing Benefit size criteria: No under occupancy is permitted. Children of the same gender share a bedroom until age 16. Children of different gender share a bedroom until age 10. The properties will be offered on affordable rent tenancies. These types of tenancies are assured short hold for a fixed term period of 7 years. If you are not transferring then you will be offered an initial starter tenancy of 12 months which must be completed successfully, after which a 7 year fixed term tenancy would be offered. There will not be any assured or lifetime tenancies offered on this scheme, unless you are a current assured Radian tenant. Homebid magazine 7

12 Your housing options Homebid does not offer a housing solution for everybody. Over 16,000 people are currently waiting on the Housing Register. Last year we were only able to rehouse just over 1,500 applicants, and the wait for accommodation is long, on average between 5 and 7 years depending on the size and type of accommodation you are waiting for. Applicants wait longest for one-bedroom homes and larger family homes. It is important you consider all your housing options, not just Homebid. For example; Renting your own home from a private landlord or letting agent; this often enables you to find your own home more quickly and gives you choice about the type of and location of your home. Renting a room in a shared house or lodging; this is often a more affordable than renting a house or flat, but still gives you independence Staying with friends and family; this may give you more time to secure alternative accommodation, as well as save money for a deposit and furniture. Staying with friends and family is a compromise the majority of people have to make whilst working towards renting or buying their own home Mutual exchange (existing Council and Housing Association tenants only). Swapping your Council or Housing Association home with another can give you a very quick move, and gives you the control about the type of home and location you move to. Homeswapper ( is an excellent way of looking for a match. There are also ways to look for matches, such as Facebook pages and local community notice boards Shared ownership; a more affordable way to buy your own home. Even if you don t think you earn enough to buy your own home, have a look as you may be surprised. All shared ownership homes are advertised via HomesinHants ( Intermediate rent; with rents around 20% less than market rent, intermediate rent offers an opportunity to rent your own home as well as save money towards a future home. All intermediate rented homes are advertised via HomesinHants ( Staying where you are; many people apply to join the Housing Register because their existing home is not long term. However, if your landlord has served you notice to end your tenancy, or if your parents have asked you to leave, the Homeless Advice Team may be able to negotiate on your behalf to enable you to stay where you are while you plan and save for a future move 12 Homebid magazine
