Places To Part Buy-Part Rent In Doncaster
Home Reach is making its name at developments across the UK as an opportunity for people on a modest budget to take a first step on the homeownership ladder – and there are several opportunities to do this at sites in South Yorkshire.
Buyers who meet the eligibility criteria for Home Reach have an opportunity to purchase a share of a new build home (usually, but not always, between 50% and 75%) and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder, with housing provider heylo as the landlord. The scheme is offered on selected plots at developments across England and provides all the benefits of homeownership but requires a much smaller deposit (5% of the share price) and a smaller mortgage than when purchasing outright. Over time, owners can buy further shares as their budget allows, until they own 100%.
