Next, the fun bit. Get on Rightmove, Zoopla or any other estate agent site and start looking for a home within your agreed budget – the choice of your home is yours. You can then make an offer and the scheme provider will buy the property outright. They will even take care of all the legal stuff. Get ready to pack your bags, you will be moving soon to your chosen home.
To complete, you will pay a 2% equity contribution. You will pay rent every month, part of which will buy equity credits. Once you have enough equity credits, you can get a more conventional mortgage and buy the property. If you fall out of love with your home, your equity credits can be cashed in at full value.
This rent to buy scheme is a unique opportunity for aspiring homeowners to choose where to live, with minimal deposit, and buy extra equity with every rental payment made.

This privacy notice tells you about the information we collect from you when you engage with our financial services. In collecting this information, we are acting as a data controller and, by law, we are required to provide you with information about us, about why and how we collect, store and use your data, and about the rights you have to control our use of your personal data.

To provide our core services (advising and arranging a mortgage or insurance contracts) we are required to collect a range of information about you and your immediate family.

Personal details such as names (including children), nationality, address and address history, email, telephone numbers, employment information, banking and credit commitments, financial dependents, general household expenditure, future plans and aspirations and product preferences. How you answer these questions will determine what other questions we ask as different lenders have different eligibility criteria.
Mortgage lenders are data controllers and have their own privacy notices. Many lenders automatically profile your information against their lending criteria and against Credit Reference Agencies as soon as your information is forwarded to them to provide lending decisions. This may affect your credit score. We will never supply this information without your prior agreement to do so.

You can withdraw from any process at any time.
