Find a Rentplus Home

Rentplus Homes offers a route to homeownership for those unable to save a deposit.
Tenants rent their home for 5,10,15 or 20 years, paying an affordable rent set by the council. They use the rental period to save and to build a strong credit history. When they buy the home they are living in, Rentplus will gift 10% of the home’s value to put towards their savings.
Prospective tenants must meet the criteria set by the local authority which is usually to have a local connection to the area (work or family connections).
Applicants must be in employment, education or training and have aspirations to buy their own home within a 5,10,15 or 20 year period.
A financial assessment will be carried out finding the best purchase timescale (5, 10, 15 or 20 years).
If applicants meet the criteria, they will be walked through the formal application process by the team at Rentplus Homes.

Affordable rent to buy is not Shared Ownership.
When tenants purchase their Rentplus home, they’re buying 100% of the property.

Applicants must usually have a local connection to the council and working, in employment or education/training. Most councils require applicants to be registered on their local council’s choice based letting scheme.
