We want to hear from organisations interested in buying and delivering a number of high-quality modular 1-bedroom, ‘SoloHaus’ micro-homes. Cornwall Council is inviting Expressions of Interest from organisations, businesses, community groups and individuals with innovative ideas for the future use of up to 37 micro-homes.
Originally purchased to provide temporary accommodation during the Covid pandemic, these units are now available for transfer to new owners. We are seeking proposals from third parties who wish to take ownership and repurpose the homes, particularly for housing-led uses that support affordability, homelessness prevention, and/or deliver community or social benefits.
Whatever your sector or background, we want to hear your ideas. These versatile units offer exciting possibilities for delivering safe, sustainable, and cost-effective accommodation.
