Rent, Save and Buy through London Living Rent
Are you a Londoner looking to buy a home of your own but are unable to save a deposit because you are renting elsewhere? A London Living Rent home with SNG could be the answer.
What is London Living Rent?
London Living Rent offers affordable homes for private rent for middle income earners on fixed term tenancies.
- Find a London Living Rent home that suits you and your needs
- Rent your home at a discount
- Save the discount for your deposit
- Buy shares in your home through Shared Ownership*
*With the exception of Amory Tower and Cunweed Court where you're unable to buy shares your home. In this case you will be able to buy a share in another property.
Discounted rental contracts can be in place if needed, for up to 10 years after the launch of each scheme; during which time, you will be able to gradually build up your deposit.
When you're ready, you have the option to buy the home you've been renting (or another eligible SNG managed property) on a Shared Ownership basis. ‘When’ you decide to buy is flexible. SNG will support you to save during your rental stay, so you can buy at your own pace.
