Introducing one of our CLT terrace tenants, Chris, in his own words…
“Hi, I’m Chris & I’ve been a Homebaked CLT tenant for 15 months. I’m originally from Sheffield, but I’ve lived in Belfast and then jumped on the ferry and came here – five years ago.
I was a volunteer at first at Homebaked Bakery, doing all sorts – washing pots, baking, cooking: I’m a qualified chef – and used to run my own computer company years ago and also worked in customer service, but am looking for work now – but with Covid, it’s not so easy.
Before I came to the CLT, I was in a dry house; I didn’t have a problem but I needed somewhere to live. The CLT is a good landlord – they keep the rent low, all the bills are included in the rent and in the kitchen is the best cooker I’ve ever cooked on – ever!
This is a lovely place within a great community; the neighbours are really friendly & notice when you’re not around – though sometimes I do like to wind Scousers up by wearing my Manchester United top!
I’m excited to see the terrace development. I’ve only ever wanted my own house around people I know, a place where my three kids can come to stay: that’s my dream. I’m not moving from Liverpool; I’m here to stay.”
