Offering a collection of 15 properties including one and two bedroom apartments, one bedroom maisonettes and three bedroom terraced houses, there really is something for everyone.

Their total household income must be less than £60,000 per annum and ideally they must have savings of around £3,500 to cover moving and legal costs.
