Help to Buy is a Government backed scheme that assists buyers with an equity loan of up to 40% of the property purchase price when buying in London.

Shared Ownership is a part buy/part rent scheme, where you buy a share in the property and pay rent on the share you don’t own. Shared ownership houses are designed as a stepping stone for first time buyers looking to completely own their own home. Staircasing shared ownership is the process of buying more shares in your property before you can own it outright.

Rent to Buy allows you to rent a new home at a 20% discount, allowing you to save for a deposit and own your home through Shared Ownership after 2 years.

Peabody builds architecturally intelligent and beautifully designed homes with impressive specifications on the open market.
