Rent to Buy helps tenants in England save for a deposit to buy a home by offering properties at a discount. This is normally 20% below market rent. The scheme is available in England, apart from London. Properties in London are covered by a separate scheme called London Living Rent.
The scheme aims to help people, whose homes are at risk of being repossessed, to stay in their homes. If you apply successfully for the mortgage to rent scheme, your home will be bought by the council or a housing association, but you will continue to live there as a tenant.
First Homes launched in 2021 to help local first-time buyers and key workers onto the property ladder by offering new-build homes at a 30% - 50% discount. The reduced rates will apply to the homes forever, meaning that buyers on a low household income will continue to benefit every time the property is sold.
Flexible path to buying a home: A lease option could be a suitable alternative if you aspire to become a homeowner but can't quite afford it just yet. Using this type of contract, you get a little more time to potentially save toward the down payment or work to improve your credit.
