Thought about buying a home through Shared Ownership?
Shared Ownership is a part-buy, part-rent arrangement where you purchase a share of a property and pay rent on the remaining portion.
Struggling to save for a mortgage while renting?
Rent to Buy allows you to move into your new property straight away and pay a reduced rent, giving you extra time - and money - to save towards your mortgage deposit.
Did you know you can swap your house locally or nationally?
You can use HomeSwapper to upsize, downsize, move location, or find a property that’s already adapted for disabilities.
Thinking about downsizing?
It might be because your current home feels too large - perhaps because family members have moved out or your circumstances have changed.
