Join the homeowner class
Rent money is dead money. Instead of paying someone else’s mortgage, take advantage of a rising property market and start building wealth through homeownership.

Less upfront costs
Move into a place you can call your own, without the stress of a large upfront deposit or ownership costs. Watch your deposit grow each week while you prepare for a home loan.

Full property management
If something needs fixing, simply reach out to your dedicated property manager and let them handle it. Renting-to-own gives you the best of both worlds: Renting and owning.

You'll have up to 8 years to complete your purchase. As long as you meet your commitments, your home is secure, and no one can force you out. If challenges arise, you'll be protected under standard tenancy laws while we help to get you back on track.
