HOW IT WORKS

The rent-to-own basics

Fast, affordable, personalised 

Find your perfect home and we’ll buy it! Rent it for a term ranging between three and five years, with the legal right to purchase at the end. We’ll give you a discount equal to 20% of your monthly payments made over the term when you decide to buy it. If the property value grows, you’ll receive a further discount, and all discounts count towards the deposit you need to qualify for a mortgage.

FAQ

Questions & Answers

01. What is Homely all about?

We’re here to help you turn your dream of owning a home into reality, even if the traditional route of securing a mortgage doesn’t work for you. We believe in empowering you to build a secure financial future through long-term homeownership.

02. Is Homely right for me?

If you’re between 22 and 35 years old, with a steady income but finding it hard to save for a large down payment, Homely might be your solution. We specialize in helping hard-working individuals who can afford monthly rent but struggle with the high upfront costs of buying a home.

03. How does Homely's rent-to-own process work?

When you pay your rent with Homely, you’re also investing in your future. A fifth of your rent goes toward lowering your final purchase price. Even better, you’ll also benefit from 20% of any increase in your home’s value over time.

04. How quickly can I start my homeownership journey with Homely?

The process is quick and easy. Simply apply, upload the necessary information, and you could be pre-approved within 48 hours. You’ll then be ready to register your interest in a property as soon as all documents are received.

05. Can I choose any home with Homely?

Absolutely. Whether you have your heart set on a brand-new build or a pre-loved property, we’ve got you covered. We’ll purchase the home you choose outright. All you need to do is pay a small upfront fee (2.5%), sign a 5-year lease, and a purchase option agreement.

06. What will my home cost at the end of the lease term?

We aim to make homeownership more affordable. At the end of your lease, the cost of your home will be its market value, minus your accrued rent discount and a share of any increase in property value. Our goal is for these benefits to reduce the purchase price by up to 10% compared to the market value.

07. Do I benefit if my Homely property increases in value?

Yes! We believe in sharing the rewards. If your property increases in value over your lease term, you’ll get a share of the gain. This happens without needing to invest any extra money, take out a loan, or pay any interest. Your success is our success.
