The scheme is being offered on properties at Linton Mews, off Chatsworth Avenue, and means that residents can secure a mortgage on a minimum of 75 per cent of the market value and pay rent to landlord Reganda Group on the remaining share.

They can continue to rent the rest of the share until they are in a position to own the home outright.
