National Mortgage to Rent Scheme
The Mortgage to Rent Scheme may be able to help you if you own your property
but feel that you are in danger of having your home repossessed. The Scheme
can arrange for a social landlord such as a Housing Association or the
Local Authority to buy your home and for you to continue to live there
as a tenant. Funding will be made available to the landlord so that any
necessary repairs can be made to the property.
Access to the scheme is conditional on applicants seeking advice from
a recognised aganecy, and confirmation that the property cannot be traded
down for a more affordable one in the local area, and that the only other
option is repossession.
