First Tŷ Gwynedd housing in Llanberis nears completion

The construction of three affordable homes on the site of an old library in Llanberis is about to be completed, and Cyngor Gwynedd is encouraging local people who are interested in applying for one of the Dôl Afon Goch homes to register with Tai Teg as soon as possible.

Through the Tŷ Gwynedd scheme, Cyngor Gwynedd has been building their first houses for over 30 years on this site, in order to meet the great demand for suitable houses that are within reach of local people. The development includes two semi-detached houses with two bedrooms; and one detached house with three bedrooms.

The houses are expected to be finished by November 2025. They will be sold with the help of an equity loan from Cyngor Gwynedd, making them affordable for local people and ensuring they remain in local ownership in the future.  

The aim of the Tŷ Gwynedd scheme is to create affordable, adaptable, sustainable, and energy-efficient homes for local people, especially those who find it difficult to buy or rent a home but may not qualify for social housing. 

The first step for anyone interested in applying for a home under the scheme is to register their interest with Tai Teg.

This development forms part of the Council’s Housing Action Plan, which aims to tackle the county’s housing shortage and ensure that Gwynedd residents can access quality, affordable homes within their own communities.

Councillor Paul Rowlinson, Cyngor Gwynedd’s Housing and Property Cabinet Member, said:

"Dôl Afon Goch in Llanberis is an important milestone for Cyngor Gwynedd, as this is the first development built as part of our Housing Action Plan. It’s clear that there is a great need for intermediate affordable houses, in Llanberis and across Gwynedd, and the Tŷ Gwynedd scheme is one of the ways we are responding to that demand. If you would like to apply for one of the houses, now is the time to register.

"Therefore, I encourage anyone who is interested in the houses, to visit the Tai Teg website in order to see if they are eligible to register for an affordable house."
