How does it work?

Wayhome's Gradual Homeownership is a part buy, part rent scheme. Instead of having to afford the whole property, you will purchase a share of the property and pay rent on the rest. You can choose to buy more of the property each month or in lump sums when you're ready.

This scheme is a great alternative to renting, as you may be able to part-own a property similar to what you're currently living in. But over time, you'll build up equity in the home instead of just paying your landlord's mortgage.

To see if you're eligible, create a free Tembo plan for a personalised recommendation.

Things to consider

Not every mortgage is for everyone. Here’s some things you should know before applying.

hand-with-key

What are the benefits?

Buy a home worth up to 10x your income

As long as you meet Wayhome's affordability criteria, you could purchase a share of a property worth 10x your income. For example, if your income was £40,000, this could mean you could buy a share in a property worth £400,000.

Get on ladder with as little as 5% deposit

You only need a 5% deposit to get started with Wayhome's scheme, which should be at least £7,500. Because you'll only own 5% of the property, this also means you'll only pay 5% of costs like Stamp Duty too.

Live debt-free and avoid paying interest

As long as you have enough cash to purchase at least 5% of the property up front, you can live mortgage free by paying rent on the portion of the property you don't own. If you don't want to buy more of the property, you don't have to.

You'll benefit from any increase in value

If the property's value has increased over time, when it comes to selling you'll benefit from the increased value of the share you bought.

Risks and considerations

You must earn at least £24,000

To qualify for Wayhome's scheme, you must have a minimum household income of £24,000 (before tax).

The property must meet Wayhome's requirements

The property you choose must meet Wayhome's requirements to qualify. You cannot use the scheme with new builds, homes in need of structural renovations or buy-to-let properties.

The amount of rent you pay could change

Once a year your rent goes up at the rate of inflation which is set by the government. However, your rent can also go down when you buy more of your home.

Self-employed applicants need to provide 1-3 years of accounts

If you're self-employed, you'll need to supply between 1-3 years worth of accounts in order to verify your income.
