How this is calculated

The tenant’s contribution is fixed at 50% of the first year’s rent and held at that amount for the whole term of up to eight years, so the yearly figure is the same in every year of it. Market rent is held constant on both sides here, so the eight-year figure is the contracted contribution alone — it excludes any rent reviews, holding costs, finance and tax. Eligibility depends on the property, its location and its current tenancy. Figures are indicative and subject to change.

PublicSquare were fantastic throughout the entire process.

50% extra is pretty big. And I really like how I, as an investor, can help other Australians get into homes.

As a chartered accountant, I have conducted in-depth research, including "what-if" analyses of potential risks. Rent-to-Sell is a great solution that bridges the needs of both investors and homebuyers. For investors, it’s almost a no-brainer. This model provides additional cash flow during ownership while also protecting against unfavourable market conditions with a minimum price guarantee.

We would 100% recommend PublicSquare to anyone looking to purchase a home. There are no hidden costs or deceptive information. Impeccable customer service and a really amazing business model.

Not only do I recommend PublicSquare, I believe that they have a model, style, process and organisational focal point that is best in market. The fact that the price is locked in at a predetermined annual increase, that is more than reasonable, is exactly what helps me sleep at night.

I would like to personally thank you for your support, collaboration, and the many constructive discussions throughout this process. Your input has been greatly appreciated and has contributed significantly to what I believe is an excellent outcome. I look forward to finalising the Rent-to-Sell agreement and moving forward with an arrangement that not only supports my long-term wealth creation objectives but also provides the tenant with stability and a genuine pathway towards home ownership.

A true win win situation. It allows people to get off the rent treadmill and into their own home sooner.
