Executive Member for Housing at Fareham Borough Council, Cllr Fred Birkett said: “I am delighted to see these fabulous new shared ownership flats at Ophelia Court. This development provides much-needed affordable homes in the Borough and the opportunity for more people to step onto the housing ladder. Most of the flats have now been reserved which just shows the quality of what we have provided. I wish the new residents every happiness in their new homes.”

Shahi Islam, Director of Affordable Housing at Homes England, added: “As the Government’s housing and regeneration agency, increasing the supply of quality affordable homes remains one of our key objectives and we are committed to supporting stakeholders of all sizes to achieve their ambitions. Ophelia Court is a prime example of how we work collaboratively with partners through the Affordable Homes Programme to achieve our mission to build much needed new communities that people can be proud to call home.”
