What is a HomeBuy Agent?
A HomeBuy Agent is a Registered Social Landlord that provides a one stop shop service to people interested in any of the HomeBuy schemes available across a specific area. The HomeBuy Agent will process your HomeBuy application to determine eligibility for the HomeBuy schemes. If you are eligible for HomeBuy, the HomeBuy Agent will keep your details on a central register and make them available to other Registered Social Landlords that have HomeBuy schemes available in the area.

No baby blues for Evesham couple now on the property ladder
You want to buy a home of your own but you can’t find the high level of deposit required to access a mortgage. So what do you do? Do you resign yourself to a lifetime of renting, or living with your parents, or would you do as Evesham couple Melanie Crouch and Christopher Lewis did and get onto the property ladder using New Build HomeBuy?
Melanie and Christopher were living with their respective parents in the Worcestershire town, but when they discovered they were expecting a baby, they were keener than ever to find a home of their own. Initially disheartened to find that homes in their area were outside of their price range, the couple were delighted to discover they could, in fact, afford a brand new home through Rooftop Housing.
