Cohousing-L Mailing List: Lancaster Cohousing - events and update

[Kathy Bashford (kathybashford]

  Dear All


There's a brunch and site tour this Sunday - details of that and other
upcoming events below, also a brief update.  There’s lots more information
on our website www.lancastercohousing.org.uk.



Cheers, Kathy

*Homes Update*



We recently accepted 3 more households.  This means that all 3 bedroom homes
within the main project have been sold but one more may become available
shortly (due to a household changing home size).  If you are interested in
buying a 3 bedroom home please apply and if accepted you will be in the
waiting pool until one becomes available.



Six more 3 bedroom homes will also be available on a plot adjacent to our
site.  These homes will be the same design (downstairs living) but will have
private gardens and parking space.  The owners will be able to benefit from
'neighbour membership' of the cohousing project.  When more information
about the price of these homes and the details of 'neighbour membership' is
available we will send another email / put details on the website.



There are still 1 and 2 bedroom homes available, although if you are
interested in an upstairs flat with bed loft get your application in quick,
as there is only one remaining.



 *Joining*



We look forward to welcoming our next group of members in
October.  Applications should reach us by September 26th for a decision on
October 9th/10th.  We welcome all applications and would particularly
encourage households who wish to use workspace in the mill.  Please see the
‘join’ page for more information and an application form to become a
prospective member.



*Hot off the press news!*

**We found out today that a group of us have had an offer accepted on the
riverside land immediately upstream of our site.
