Find a home with Intermediate Rent

To be eligible for Intermediate Rent, you must meet certain criteria:

• Your total household income must be less than £90,000 if in London, or less than £80,000 outside of London.
• You must be unable to afford to buy a suitable property on the open market.
• You must not already own another home.
• You must be able to afford 80% of the local market rent without assistance.
• For some developments, there may be additional criteria such as priority given to those who currently live or work in the local area.

Intermediate Rent offers budding buyers the opportunity to rent a brand-new or refurbished home at less than the market rate. The rent is subsidised, normally at approximately 20% lower than what you would expect to pay for a similar home in a similar area if you were renting on the private market. As well as being more affordable, you have the assurance that your home is built, managed and let by a registered housing provider.
