With increasing property prices, we understand that not everyone can afford to buy a home outright. If you’re in this situation, then you might be able to buy a new home through shared ownership.
With shared ownership, you buy a percentage of your home and pay rent on the rest. This means your mortgage will be less and you won’t have to find a big deposit.

What is Rent to Buy?
Rent to Buy is a government-designed scheme that allows working households to rent a home at 20 percent below the market rent value (known as intermediate rent). With less rent to pay, it gives you the opportunity to save for a deposit so you can buy the property in the future.
With Rent to Buy, you can live in a high-quality, new build home at intermediate rent for a minimum of five years. During that time, you can save for a deposit and have the option to buy your home through shared ownership.
Who’s eligible for Rent to Buy?
You could be eligible if:
- you’re working and intend to buy the property in the future;
- you’re a first-time buyer or want to own a home again after a relationship breakdown.
You must earn the minimum income required for the home to make sure it's affordable for you, however there’s no maximum income cap for the scheme.
