Intermediate Rent scheme

Through the Intermediate Rent scheme, you can rent a brand new home for less than the market rate. The rent charged is lower than you would expect to pay for a similar home if you were renting from a private landlord - and you also have the assurance that your home is managed by Westlea Housing.

Intermediate Rent is a fantastic opportunity to rent a high quality new build home. It is aimed at people who have difficulty affording market rents on the open market, and for those who lack a mortgage deposit and who thus cannot buy a home just yet.

Properties available

Swindon

Duke House1-bed apartment, Duke House, Swindon.

Rent a 1-bed apartment in the centre of town for just 80% of what a private landlord would charge!

Rent a modern apartment for less than the market rate via the new government backed 'Intermediate Rent' scheme. Designed for people who have difficulty affording private rents or for those who are not ready to commit to buying a home just yet.

Applicants in receipt of housing benefit are unfortunately not eligible, because Intermediate Rent is for people with a long-term aim of part buy / part renting. Let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy basis with a 6-month contract period (with the option to extend).

All for only £396 per month!
