Buy a London Home –
Without a Bank

A rare Rent to Buy opportunity in Central London

For most people, buying a home follows the same frustrating path: rent for years, try to save on the side, jump through bank hoops – and still be told not yet.

This is different.

This page showcases the London home currently available to buy using a Rent to Buy / Rent to Own structure – a simpler, more direct way to step onto the property ladder without needing a mortgage to move in.

These opportunities are rare in Central London, and we only release a very small number of homes this way.

Who this is suitable for

The Home Available Right Now

Ensign Street, London E1 8JT

A bright, modern, two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on a one way street in a quiet pocket of Zone 1, moments from the Thames, Tower Bridge and St Katherine Docks. With it’s own balcony AND a shared roof terrace, the home is minutes to supermarkets, restaurants, bars, transport and everything else you could possibly need.

This is not a “rent and hope” situation – this is a genuine route toward ownership of a London home, starting now.

How it works:

  • £20,000 upfront
  • £2,900 per month
  • Move in now
  • Buy the home later, without needing a bank on day one

Why Rent to Buy Changes the Game

Most people renting in London are doing two things at once:

  1. Paying rent
  2. Trying (and often failing) to save a deposit on the side

Rent to Buy removes that split focus.

Instead of waiting for banks, perfect credit, or a large deposit, this approach allows you to:

  • Move straight into the home
  • Lock in the opportunity now
  • Use time to strengthen your position while already living in the property
  • Work toward ownership rather than starting again every time you move

It’s a calmer, more human way to buy – especially in a city where traditional routes exclude far too many capable people.

Why This Is Rare

A little about me…

I’ve been structuring and completing Rent to Buy / Rent to Own transactions for over 13 years.

What I love most about this approach is seeing the moment people realise they don’t have to rent indefinitely – that owning their own home is actually within reach.

Every purchase is handled with independent solicitors representing both sides throughout.

How It Works (Simple Overview)

  1. Register as a buyer
    Complete the short Buyer Registration Form so we know a little about you.
  2. Go and see the home
    You need to fall in love with it, as well as the opportunity!
  3. Review the details
    We share the full Rent to Buy details for the property.
  4. Secure the home
    Once agreed, you pay a small admin fee to get the process started, and we take the home off the market
  5. Move in and work toward ownership
    Both sides are represented by their own solicitors throughout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as a normal rental?

No. This is a structured path toward ownership, not a standard tenancy.

Do I need a mortgage to move in?

No – that’s the point. You move in first and buy later.

Is this available on multiple properties?

No. This page always shows the one home currently available.

Is it competitive?

Yes. These homes are limited, and we proceed with the buyer who secures it first.

If this resonates, the next step is simple.

We’ll then confirm whether this opportunity is a fit and share the full details.

This isn’t for everyone – but for the right person, it can be the moment that finally changes how buying a London home feels.
