Open the door to an affordable new home
At Torus Homes we understand that buying a new home is one of the biggest decisions you make in life.
With affordable purchase options, plus developments across the region, we’re here to help make your dream a reality.
Owning a new home can be much more affordable through Shared Ownership.*
What is Shared Ownership?
- Shared Ownership is where you part buy/part rent so you can step onto the property ladder without over stretching yourself financially
- You can buy between 25% and 75% of the home’s value and pay a low rent on the remaining share
What are the benefits?
- You need a smaller mortgage and smaller deposit
- You can buy more shares in the property when you can afford them
- You get the home you’ve always dreamed of at a price you can afford
Staircasing
- Buy more shares in the home, up to 100%
- When you buy more shares, the rent you pay goes down
- When you own 100% of the home, you do not pay any rent
How to apply
To apply please complete the application on the Help to Buy Agent 1 website.
To speak to our Sales Team please get in touch.
*Shared Ownership is available to eligible purchasers, criteria apply. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other debt secured on it.

What is Rent to Buy?
- Rent to Buy is a government backed initiative that allows eligible working people to rent a newly built home at 20% less than market rent whilst they save for a deposit to buy
- 5 years after the property was built, you can apply to purchase the property. If during the initial 5 year period you request to purchase the property, we can only sell it on a Shared Ownership basis.
