Our Housing Team alongside Rentplus-UK and LiveWest will be at Bedford Square in Tavistock on Saturday 7 October from 10 a.m. to 2.pm to talk to residents about housing.
At a dedicated housing stand, those who cannot afford to rent or buy a home on the open market can get advice on how low-cost home ownership works. There you can also find details of affordable rent options and new properties which will soon be available across the Borough.
Landlords and tenants can also get advice from SeaMoor Lettings, our own ethical lettings agency, whose focus is to provide opportunities for people to remain in the area.
Housing opportunities for people in West Devon are a top priority for the Borough Council.

SeaMoor Lotto is a fun way to help good local causes that you care about. Since its launch, our Lotto has raised thousands of pounds for local West Devon small charities.
You can choose exactly which good cause you would like your money to go to, and unlike larger lotteries, most of the cost of your ticket comes straight back into the community.
Tickets are £1 in the weekly draw with the chance of winning weekly cash prizes of up to £25,000.
Enter before Saturday 30 September and you can also be in with a chance of winning a £1,500 Ikea voucher.
It really is a win-win: even if you don’t win a cash prize you can be happy knowing that you are making a real difference to a good cause within the Borough!
