How it works:You will pay the Open Market Rent (indexed annuallyat the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the tenancyperiod which is set at 5 years.After 5 years you have the option to buy theproperty at today’s market value (Agreed PurchasePrice)Assuming house prices increase in value at circa 3%per annum this will mean you will be buying theproperty at at 15% discount to the market value in 5years time.This 15% is effectively the deposit you will require fora new mortgage and of course you can always putyour own money in to boost your deposit.If you do not buy the property at the end of your 5year tenancy you can buy it any year thereafter atthe agreed purchase price which is index linked.You have two option dates after the initial 5 yearshave finished which are the 1 April and 1 Octobereach year but the price will be indexed with the CPIIndex.WHAT IS RENT TO BUY?8Key Benefits:Locked-In Price: The property value is fixed at the start,protecting you from price increases in the housing marketover the rental period.Equity Accumulation: You benefit from the property’sincrease in value, which can be used as a deposit forpurchasing the property.No Obligation to Purchase: You have the option but notthe obligation to buy at the end of the rental period.Considerations:Market Fluctuations: The market value of the property maynot increase, and there's a risk it could decrease. Tenantsshould be aware of market conditions and trends.Independent Advice: It’s advised to seek independentfinancial advice to understand the full implications andresponsibilities of entering such a scheme. The Rent to Buy scheme with a fixed property value at the outset offers a unique opportunity for renters aiming to purchasea home. With the property value set at the beginning, any increase in market value over the tenancy period can contributetowards the deposit when choosing to buy. It’s imperative for interested parties to conduct thorough research and considerprofessional advice to navigate through the financial aspects and risks involved.As a variation to the Governments Rent to Buy scheme we have devised a scheme which encourages Homeownerhip forKeyworkers.Our Rent to Buy properties address the key challenge of homeownership which is saving for a deposit and not paying a mortgage.
