General Comments - We are delighted to offer 11 Rosva Wenton to the market, a unique opportunity to own a property under a Section 106 agreement. This agreement, dated 11.05.16 and 11.01.17, allows for the marketing of this property at a Council-approved figure of £217,000, representing 70% of its full market value of £310,000. Please note that the sale price cannot exceed £217,000. The ultimate decision on which qualifying person to proceed with rests with the owner, following viewings and offers received. Please note that Cornwall Council only assess one applicant at a time.

Cornwall Council has streamlined the process for dealing with properties such as this. There is no longer a registration or nomination process; instead, Cornwall Council assess proposed buyers directly. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that any interested parties clearly meet the eligibility criteria. Once a prospective buyer has been identified, we will direct them to complete the Council eligibility form.

If you are trying to purchase a discount sale or local needs affordable home, you need to apply through a Cornwall Council process. Only once you have viewed and made an offer on a Section 106 property, the estate agent (Philip Martin) will confirm whether you are the proceeding applicant. You do not need to complete the assessment process if you have not been chosen to purchase the property. The Council will check whether you meet the provisions in the Section 106 agreement and verify your eligibility for the property.

Eligibility Requirements - Residency/permanent employment of 16+ hours per week for 3+ years OR Former residency of 5+ years OR Close family member (Mother/Father/Sister/Brother/Son/Daughter) who has lived in the parish of Probus for 5+ years.
