Rent your dream home today and secure a fixed purchase price for 36 months - seamlessly transitioning from renting to owning with

Cornovii Kettel.

Through their partnership with Kettel, Cornovii Homes are offering the option to live in one of their homes while helping you build the required deposit, credit and affordability to buy it.

  • Start a Kettel application

    It's fast, free and won't impact your credit score. Our team will qualify you and provide you with a budget and selection of Cornovii homes that are available on the programme.

  • Choose your dream home and move in

    Select the Cornovii Home that fits your budget, and move in!

  • Rent from Cornovii

    Build your savings and credit while renting from Cornovii Homes for 36 months. By the end, you'll have worked towards a 10% deposit and a stronger credit score.

  • Become a homeowner

    Move seamlessly from renting to owning when you purchase your home at the end of 36 months.

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.

Five reasons why Kettel's rent to own programme with Cornovii might be good for you.

  • 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.

    No complex staircasing - just a clear path to ownership. After 36 months, you have the option to buy your home with a standard mortgage.

  • Lower deposit.

    Minimum deposit of 1% 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 programme, 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.
