Find a home with Rent to Buy

To qualify for Rent to Buy properties, you must meet the relevant eligibility criteria:

• You must be a working household at the time of letting.
• You must not own another property.
• You must have a good credit history, and be free from bad debts and County Court Judgements (CCJs).
• Some developments may have additional criteria, such as prioritising residents or workers in the local area.

Rent to Buy homes are let at up to 80% of the market rent (meaning a 20% subsidised rate) with a fixed rate of inflation.

The Rent to Buy scheme enables the property to be let on an assured shorthold tenancy for a fixed term for up to five years which will be linked to your required savings period. A savings plan will be put in place to help you raise a sufficient deposit to purchase on either Shared Ownership or equity loan terms within five years.
