Home Reach by heylo housing is a part buy – part rent scheme partnering with national, regional and local housebuilders across England. Launched in 2014, they have opened the door on over 6,000 properties to date for people who thought having their own home was impossible. Available on over 250 developments across England with more than 90 housebuilders, ranging from studio apartments up to 5-bed houses, there is something for any home searching criteria.
With Home Reach you simply find your dream home that is currently offering Home Reach and once you have been financially qualified and approved by your local Help to Buy agent, it’s time to reserve. You buy the share you can afford, up to 75% shares* and heylo housing will purchase the rest. Once bought, you pay rent to heylo at a rate of 2.75% on the share you do not own and get the enjoyment of living in it as if you own it outright. However, owning it outright is not out of the question as when you are in the position to, you can purchase more shares through a process called ‘staircasing’. This means that you buy the initial share that suits you, so if you want that longer term home you can buy a smaller share of a bigger property or for those that want their own space that’s not their forever home, you have the option to buy a larger share of lower priced home.
When you live in a property with Home Reach you can decorate the home to truly make it your own, so paint the walls that colour that you so desperately want but can’t in a property that’s not yours, place the fluffiest carpet to dig your feet into on those cold mornings and put as many frames and decorations on the wall as you please. Not just this, we are totally okay with you having a pet as we believe they are a large part of the home**. Bring Roscoe the dog, Buttons the cat and Hattie the rabbit, we just ask for Tilly the tiger to be left away.
Plus, when you’re a first time buyer, you will be exempt from paying Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on any property up to the value of £500,000.
*Starting shares vary across sites, for more information please speak to the team. Dependent on affordability.
**Please check with the management team for the development that it is a pet friendly development.

Gecko Homes – A Home for Everyone!
At Gecko Homes we believe all our home buyers deserve a better, simpler service, therefore we aim to provide homes to suit all budgets and needs.
From 2017, we have been offering flexible options that help you find your perfect place, with a range of properties for rental, outright sale and shared ownership. Plus, to make your home move even easier, we continue to offer our services and support long after you move in.
At Gecko we have a helpful and personal approach that makes purchasing a new home simple and achievable.
We provide high-quality, professionally built family homes and apartments, situated in desirable locations. As part of Southway Housing Trust and being based in Manchester, we are local to every housing development we have built and know all of our areas well.
What is shared ownership?
The shared ownership scheme provides a perfect opportunity for first time buyers and those who do not currently own a property to buy a share in one of our newly built, high-spec homes.
Shared ownership allows you to purchase a percentage of the property, allowing you to only buy as much of your new home as you can afford, usually between 35%-75%, and pay rent on the remaining percentage of the property at an affordable rate.
As it is part of the affordable housing scheme, it is designed to help people get on to the property ladder. Then, at a later point once you can afford to do so, you can buy more of your property - this is known as staircasing.
With a shared ownership purchase, you only need a mortgage for your share in your home, so the amount you need for a mortgage deposit is generally far less than buying a comparative property outright, and the combined mortgage and rent are usually less together than renting privately.
In order to buy using the shared ownership scheme you must not own or part-own any other property and have a household income that does not exceed £80,000 a year.
For more information, visit our website or give us a ring. We are always happy to answer any questions you have.
