Applicants should not currently own a home when applying. You will also need to meet any specific criteria for the individual development - please contact our housing team for further information.
Local connection - you must have lived within Cheshire East for a set amount of time, or have a permanent contract of employment in the area, or have an immediate family member (sibling/parent/child) who lives here.
Housing need - you must be able to show that your household income means you cannot afford the property at its current open market value, but can afford the property with the discount applied based on your circumstances, mortgage ability and deposit level.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
