Home Reach
What is Home Reach?
How does part buy-part rent work?
Part buy-part rent is a way to purchase a share in a property. You can pay for your share in cash savings, or by taking out a mortgage. If you are taking out a mortgage, you will need to allow for a minimum of 5% deposit.
You'll be able to live in your home as if you've bought it outright, with our partners, heylo housing acting as your landlord granting you a 125-year lease. As time goes on you can increase the share you own, up to 100% home ownership.
