OUR MISSION
Make home ownership more accessible to first-time buyers.
With rising housing prices, higher deposits and strict mortgage approvals, buying your first home is more challenging than ever. We want to level the playing field and provide the clearest path for first-time buyers to gain access to the benefits of homeownership.
Better than help to buy.
Six reasons why we're better than the government's equity loan and shared ownership schemes:
We don't restrict you to new builds or housing association stock.
Our investment partners buy move-in ready single-family homes on the open market.
You don't need to qualify for a mortgage before you move in.
We help you save and build your credit to get a great mortgage in 36 months.
We're not a loan.
We don't punish you for having underdeveloped credit.
A clear path to traditional homeownership in 36 months.
We don't capture you in a complicated rent trap like shared ownership.
Lower deposit.
Minimum deposit of 2% for Kettel vs. 5% for government schemes.
We're flexible.
If after 36 months you decide home ownership isn't right for you, you keep all your accrued savings and walk away.
Made just for you.
Build your savings
Our goal is to get you to a 10% deposit during your 36-month rental term, but it's up to you how much you actually save. We'll help you navigate the government's Lifetime ISA program, one of the most effective tools for first-time buyers to save their deposits.
Live like an owner
This is going to be your home, so make it feel that way. Paint, decorate and put your personal touch on it. You will even benefit from any appreciation greater than the pre-agreed buy back price when you're renting.
Come as you are
We help first-time buyers who are short on deposit, have underdeveloped credit or are still early in their career. We believe in the power of home ownership and have built Kettel to help you find your dream home sooner.
