Weirbrook
Weirbrook is a new development of 25 new homes based in the heart of Glossop. These thoughtfully designed collection of homes are available with a mix of Rent-to-Buy and Shared Ownership options. Weirbrook offers an accessible route to homeownership in an area of Derbyshire filled with character. Developed in partnership with Peaks and Plains Housing Trust.
Prices start from £28,500 (reflective of a 10% share)
These homes come in two styles. The Wynn, a two-bedroom home and The Royal, a three-bedroom home. Both homes are designed to suit a range of modern lifestyles, from first-time buyers to growing families. Each home features high-quality finishes, open-plan living spaces, contemporary kitchens and bathrooms and landscaped front and back gardens.
Phase 1 of the development is complete, and the Shared Ownership plots are currently available to reserve, with rent-to-buy coming soon in Phase 2.
What is Shared Ownership?
Shared ownership makes buying a home easier and more affordable. You’ll purchase a share of your new home at Blundell Crescent, between 10% and 75%, and that percentage is then yours to own!
As the landlord, Peaks and Plains will own the rest of your home, and you’ll pay rent on that percentage. When you’re ready, you can think about staircasing – that’s when you purchase more shares, right up to 100%.

What is Rent to Buy?
Rent to Buy is a government scheme introduced in 2014 that allows tenants to rent a property at 20% below market rent - giving you the chance to save for a deposit to buy a home in the future.
It’s an affordable step onto the property ladder as it makes saving for a mortgage much more achievable!
To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:
- Be in full or part time employment.
- Have the right to rent in England.
- Earn the minimum income required for the home to make sure it’s affordable for you, however there is no maximum income cap for Rent to Buy.
- You must be a first-time buyer or a former homeowner returning to the market, for instance following a relationship breakdown .
- Able to pay your rent and save for a deposit at the same time.
- Hold a good credit history to ensure you’re free from any bad debts or County Court Judgements.
