Rent First Scheme

** There are currently no Rent First homes available **

Rent First is a scheme which enables people to rent a property first and then purchase it, if they wish to, at a later date

The Rent First scheme provides a mid-market housing solution for individuals and families who are in a financially stable position and yet are unable purchase a house at the present time due to economic uncertainties, house prices and lack of deposit for a mortgage.

Under the Rent First scheme, rent will be charged at a lower amount than market rent which will enable a deposit to be saved. The tenant will then be able to purchase the property after a period of three years.
