Rent-to-HomeBuy is designed for people who
want to buy their own home, but are not ready
yet.
It allows you to plan for becoming a homeowner,
and means you can save some money whilst renting
a new home.
Rent-to-HomeBuy could be for you if:
You are unable to buy a home at the
moment
You would like to try a property out
before you commit to buying
You need to save up for a deposit
You are unsure about buying in the current
market
How does it work?
You can rent the home for up to 5 years maximum, and the rent you pay will be about
80% of the normal market rent for the property.
This allows you to begin saving to own your
home.
When you decide to buy it will be through shared
ownership, also known as NewBuild HomeBuy. This
means that you can buy shares in your property,
and pay a reduced rent on the other share. Eventually
you can own 100%, when you are ready. Click
