Buy your home

Become a homeowner

At Genesis we’re able to assist our residents and tenants with buying their home or a new home. Here's how we can help.

We have a number of different options we can explore with you. In some circumstances how you obtained the property can affect buying options. The options open to tenants wanting to buy the home they live in are:

- Social Homebuy
- Right to Acquire (RTA)
- Right to Buy a Council Home (RTB Council)
- Right to Buy a Housing Association Home (RTB HA)

We’re able to offer a number of other ways for those who would like to move from their current home to a new home. These are:

- Shared Ownership
- Help to Buy
