Intermediate Rent FAQs
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take the next step, let us help you on your way by answering your Intermediate Rent questions.
Intermediate Rent (or Intermediate Market Rent) is a rental option designed to help first time buyers who can’t yet afford to buy a home, but want to save for a deposit to purchase a home within the next five years. The IMR scheme offers budding buyers the opportunity to rent a brand-new or refurbished home at less than the market rate.
Homes available through Intermediate Rent are usually let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy basis with a six-month contract period. You may have the opportunity to rent a home for longer than this initial contract period – for example, up to five years – but this will depend on your landlord’s plans for the home.
