Rent to buy

The Rent to Buy scheme which permits working households to rent a new build home for 80% of the market rate rent price (also known as the intermediate rent). By then saving the further 20% for a deposit, you may be able  to purchase your first home.

How does it work?

• Rent to Buy properties are let to working households, who want to buy their own home but haven’t currently got a deposit.
• Rent to Buy properties which have been built with Homes England grant will be allocated by offering a Rent to Buy Fixed Term (Flexible) Tenancy, with an expectation that the tenant will purchase the property at the end of the 5 year tenancy.
