Lochaber Housing Association has developed a site in Arisaig which provides 16 houses for affordable rent and 4 for low cost home ownership under the LIFT shared equity initiative. In addition, 2 plots have been provided for allocation to eligible RHOG (Rural Home Ownership Grant) applicants. More details about the RHOG scheme are given below. The site in Arisaig is located on the west of the village, on a hillside overlooking Loch nan Ceall, with views of the Rhu peninsula and the Isles of Eigg and Muck. The development is close to village amenities with the houses lying between the shop and the primary school.
Funding from the Scottish Government and Highland Council towards the high costs of this scheme has enabled the development to go ahead. For more information about the Arisaig development please contact Lochaber Housing Association on 01397 702530 or email info@lochaberhousing.org.uk .
