Rent to Buy
Live for today. Save for tomorrow. Own the future.
We want as many people as possible to have a beautiful home to call their own, and at Peabody, we’ve been helping people in London and the south-east do this for over 150 years.
We understand how difficult it can be to get a foot on the property ladder these days. Too often people are forced into completely changing their lifestyle or making big sacrifices, like moving away from family, friends and work, just to be able to save for a deposit to buy their own home. For many, the idea of ever being able to afford to buy in London feels out of reach.
We are delighted to offer Rent to Buy at selected developments as a brand new way to make it possible for you to own a home. Rent your new home at a 20% discount, save as you go for a deposit and after 2 years own your home through Shared Ownership.
Make your homeownership dreams a reality at a visionary new community in London.
