Monmouthshire County Council is to offer people residing in the Usk area the opportunity to own their own home. The council is to sell a house in the town’s Castlewood neighbourhood which initially will be offered to people living within the communities of Usk, Llanbadoc, Gwehelog Fawr and Llantrisant Fawr. If no applications are received the council will extend the offer to adjoining community council areas.

The two-bedroom terrace property was built in 1990 and is available at 50% of full market value with an interest-free equity loan provided by the council for the remaining 50% of the cost. The current full market value is £146,000.

Contact Mrs Shirley Wiggam on 07769 616662 or email: [email protected] for an application form or more information. Applications must be received by Friday 4th March 2016.
