Rent to HomeBuy

At Urban Splash we’ve got a great track record in offering HCA backed schemes that help our customers into home ownership and now we've launched Rent to HomeBuy. 

Rent to HomeBuy is a Homes and Communities Agency initiative. It helps you into home ownership by allowing you to purchase an affordable share in your own home with the option to buy additional shares in the future taking you into outright ownership. Or you can rent at 80% market rent with a view to purchasing at any point within the next five years. You can read more about the initiative in our 'Guide to Rent to HomeBuy' or watch our film where our own Nicola Wallis explains how it works.

Am I eligible?

The good news is that it’s available to a really broad audience, the main criteria being that: 

• You/your household has an annual income of less than £60,000
• You are in full time employment
• You currently own no other properties.

The Buy Option 

Under Rent to HomeBuy, you can buy anything from 25% to 75% of the property, renting the remaining share at 2.75% per annum. Urban Splash wants to help our customers further, therefore those opting to buy straight away will benefit from a contribution of up to £1,000 legal fees, the cost of your valuation paid and a 12 month holiday on the first year's rent*.

The Rent Option

 “Try before you buy” and rent an apartment at just 80% of the market rent with prices from £380 pcm**, giving you some room financially to save up for a deposit. If you take this option, you can purchase at any point within five years.
