Own your own home 

HomeBuy is a government-funded programme of affordable home ownership, designed to help people who wish to buy a home but cannot afford to buy on the open market. As seasoned HomeBuy experts, we can offer three simple routes to home ownership:

New Build HomeBuy

You can buy an initial share in a home, usually between 40% and 75%, and pay a discounted rent on the rest. The initial share you buy is based on the maximum amount that that you can comfortably afforded.  As finances allow, you may buy further shares, until you own the property outright.

HomeBuy Resales

You can buy an initial share of a previously owned HomeBuy property and pay a discounted rent on the rest.  The share you can buy depends on the portion purchased by the previous owner.

Rent to HomeBuy

You pay a discounted rent on a property, with the option to buy a share at a later stage. This gives you time to save for a deposit or arrange your finances so you can secure a mortgage. It is then possible to purchase further shares in the property until you own it outright.
