Legal Fees Paid Offers On Part Buy-Part Rent In Home Counties
First-time buyers who are looking for their modest budget to go further with a ‘part buy-part rent’ scheme could make a considerable saving at West Sussex, Berkshire and Surrey sites right now.
Until 31 July, Home Reach is offering to pay up to £2,500 towards purchasers of on selected plots some of its current developments in Handcross, Wokingham and Redhill.
Home Reach is a partnership between housing provider heylo and a number of housebuilders across England. It is open to first-time buyers who meet the eligibility criteria and is a way of purchasing a share of a new build home and paying a subsidised rent on the remainder, with heylo as the landlord. It offers all the benefits of homeownership but requires a much smaller deposit and mortgage than purchasing outright. If they wish, owners can buy further shares later as their budget allows, until they own 100%.
