At Plumlife we provide the opportunity for people to achieve the dream of buying their home by offering help to those who cannot afford a property with just a commercially available mortgage.
We have been appointed by the Homes and Communities Agency, the government body that funds affordable new homes, as one of its 15 Homebuy Agents. Plumlife are HomeBuy Agents for Greater Manchester, Lancashire, and South Yorkshire. A HomeBuy Agent is a one stop shop, allowing you to apply for a whole host of schemes and developments regardless of the supplier, and operate under the 'HomeBuy brand and real help now!'
In general, we can offer people who meet the necessary criteria, the chance to buy a home for between 25% and 75% of its market value. We own the rest of the property and charge you rent on this proportion. This works out cheaper than buying 100% of a house or apartment at once, and you can buy more of your home later, when you can afford to.
As HomeBuy Agents Plumlife have a whole host of schemes available, HomeBuy Direct, First Time Buyers' Initiative, and Open market options, all designed to help people step onto the property ladder, details of which can be found under Plumlife schemes.
We offer a one-stop shop registration service to anyone who lives or wants to live in Greater Manchester, Lancashire and South Yorkshire. When we have all your details, we can tell housing developers all over the region that you are looking to buy.
Currently we have properties all over the Lancashire, Greater Manchester and the South Yorkshire area including:
- The Ridge - Knutsford
- The Way - Beswick
- The Bridge - Timperley
- Breeze - Sheffield
Plumlife is part of Great Places Housing Group, which owns and manages around 14,000 affordable homes across the Nort West
