Intermediate Market Rent Scheme

The Intermediate Rent Scheme is a great option for people who are not ready to commit to buying a home, who are having difficulty getting a mortgage or who cannot save up a deposit to buy through the affordable home-ownership schemes. The rent is 20% cheaper than renting privately and is aimed at helping you to save for a deposit, which will then allow you to enter into affordable home ownership in the short to medium term. There is no obligation to purchase the property that is rented under the Intermediate Rent Scheme.

If you wish to apply for Intermediate Market Rent, you must first receive confirmation that you are eligible for the HomeBuy Schemes. To register with Orbit HomeBuy please visit www.orbithomebuyagents.co.uk. Once you have received approval, you will need to complete the intermediate rent property application form that can be found below, and return it to us with the required documentation.
