“When our 2nd child was born we had nowhere to put a pram. Buying a share in a KCHT home has completely changed our lives. We have a beautiful home with plenty of space especially for the children. A private garden has been the icing on the cake.

Buying from the CLT was the only form of ownership we could afford.”

Gary and Lucie Wilson, Keswick
