TWO low cost houses are ready to be sold to Usk residents.

Monmouthshire County Council (MCC) is to offer people residing in the Usk area the opportunity to own their own home.

The council is to sell two houses in the town’s Castlewood neighbourhood which initially will be offered to people living within the communities of Usk, Llanbadoc, Gwehelog Fawr and Llantrisant Fawr.

If no applications are received the council will extend the offer to adjoining community council areas.

The two-bedroom terrace properties were built in 1989 and are available at 50 per cent of full market value with an interest-free equity loan provided by the council for the remaining 50 per cent of the cost. The current full market values are £145,000 and £146,000.
