Move In By Christmas With Home Reach In Hampshire

For house-hunters in Hampshire searching for a first home to move into by this Christmas, there are a few opportunities to do so at developments across the county which are for sale through the Home Reach scheme.

Home Reach is a partnership between housing provider heylo and a number of housebuilders across England which gives buyers who meet the eligibility criteria the opportunity to ‘part buy-part rent’ a brand new home. You can purchase a share of a new build home (usually starting at 50%) and pay a subsidised rent on the remainder, with heylo as the landlord. The scheme is offered on selected plots at a development 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%.

Here are some examples of homes in Hampshire ready to move into by Christmas through Home Reach.
