While we’d like to help as many people as we can, unfortunately, we can’t help you if you’re over 55 because of our 40% ownership limit (which you can read more about here).

We expect most of our customers to eventually buy the whole home from our funding partners with the help of a mortgage, however, mortgage lenders can often have upper age limits in place.

We want to avoid situations where you’re stuck in a home with us because you’re unable to get a mortgage (so that you can buy it outright).

We’re working behind the scenes to change the 40% ownership rule, which we hope means that even more people can buy a home with our help.

If we’re able to change our eligibility criteria around our upper age limit we’ll let you know as soon as we can.
