Owning your own home

It can be difficult for first time buyers to get a foot on the property ladder. The continuing rise in house prices and the larger deposits required to get a mortgage can make buying a home seem impossible.

But if buying on the open market isn't an option for you, there is another way to become a home owner; and that's through a home ownership scheme.

Depending on where you live and your income, there are different ways to buy a property through a home ownership scheme. Whatever type of home you're looking for, from contemporary apartments and family homes to retirement properties with onsite care and support services, our Homebuy team can help you find the right property.

And once you have moved into your home, our support doesn't stop, our Home ownership team will help you look after your home.

Visit the Sanctuary home ownership website for more information about how to become a home owner and the types of support we can provide once you have moved into your home.
