Opportunities To Part Buy-Part Rent Brand New Homes In Shropshire
For first-time house-hunters Shropshire who have only a modest budget, there’s a chance to ‘part buy-part rent’ brand new homes at a number developments there.
Buyers who meet the eligibility criteria for Home Reach have an opportunity to purchase a share of a new build home (usually starting at 50%) 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%.
