OX Place

Oxford needs homes and Oxford City Council is committed to building them. In 2016, Oxford City Council established OX Place as its own housing company to create high-quality, genuinely affordable homes in the City. At OX Place, we’re responsible for building the homes local people need. Our profits are invested back into the city, to provide essential services for local people, and into building more homes for people who need them. We build homes you can buy outright, as well as homes you can buy a percentage of, known as shared ownership homes. This scheme gives people the chance to get on to the property ladder by buying a share of a home and renting the rest. With shared ownership you can buy more shares of your home in future. Sometimes you will be able to own it outright. And we build council-owned rented homes for those who need a safe, high-quality, affordable rental home in the city. In some cases, these are for people who can’t afford to buy, in others, it’s so we can provide affordable homes for key workers, such as nurses, doctors, university researchers and local school teachers who may need to live in the city while they’re training, but then move away.
