Rent to HomeBuy

Rent to HomeBuy is a way to ‘try before you buy’ and helps first time buyers onto the property ladder.  Rent to HomeBuy will help prospective first time buyers who find that they are unable to access the housing market at the present time.

Households who would normally be eligible to purchase a New Build Homebuy property will be able to rent that property at less than market rent for a pre-specified period.

At the end of that time (or sooner if they are able) they will be given first option to buy a share of the property through the New Build HomeBuy scheme. The rent being charged will give households time to save for a deposit, or for their financial circumstances to improve sufficiently, for them to enter homeownership via New Build Homebuy.
