Nestled on the boundary of the tranquil Delamere Forest, a collection of 3 - 5 bedroom homes built on historic former regal land, available exclusively with Rent to Buy. Rent to Buy homes at Earlsbrook offer a unique opportunity for those looking to take their first step onto the property ladder, by offering reduced rents when compared to renting privately, to help you save towards a deposit to buy your first home.

Introducing Rent to Buy from L&Q

Rent to Buy (RtB) is a government scheme designed to transition you from a renter into a homeowner. The rents are often priced at 80% of a similar property on the open market. The savings you make on the discounted rent can then be used towards a deposit for your first home. 

Rent to Buy lets you:

• Rent a home at a lower price compared to renting privately
• Save faster towards a deposit to buy your own home
• Rent the homes you want to buy
• Buy a share of your home through Shared Ownership, or on the open market with L&Q within 5 years**
