New build developments with Affordable Rent homes:
Affordable rent is rent that is set at up to 80% of the local market rent rate. Many of our homes are let at affordable rent rates.
As with our other properties, you need to register and express your interest for most of our affordable rent homes. For more information on applying for a home (including new build properties), tap here.
New build developments with Rent to Buy homes:
Rent to Buy helps tenants in England save for a deposit to buy a home by offering properties at a discount. This is normally 20% below market rent (source: gov.uk).
For more information on how Rent to Buy works and eligibility, visit www.gov.uk/rent-to-buy.
New build developments with Shared Ownership homes:
Put simply, Shared Ownership is a cross between buying and renting a home.
You buy a share of the property, usually between a quarter and three quarters, and then rent the part you don’t own at a reduced rate. You then have the option to buy a bigger share in the property in future.
Stonecross Homes is the brand name we use to market our Shared Ownership developments and properties.
