Open market (rent or buy)
Renting
Peabody owns and manages a growing portfolio of homes on the open market. These properties are not subsidised and are charged at normal market rents. Anyone can rent an open market home from Peabody under an assured shorthold tenancy, subject to standard referencing and credit checks.
Peabody is proud to be accredited by The National Approved Letting Scheme, www.nalscheme.co.uk – a Government backed accreditation scheme which offers peace of mind to tenants through the knowledge that the firm they are dealing with offers clearly defined levels of customer service and standards.

Options for first time buyers, including shared ownership
There are many options for first time buyers to purchase a home. We sometimes work with new property developers to provide opportunities for first time buyers to purchase a new home via shared ownership (part buy, part rent). Or, when an existing Peabody home owner sells their property, we may market it on their behalf.
Other providers also offer assisted purchase schemes to first time buyers in London. You must register and meet a number of eligibility criteria before you are able to find and purchase a home. For more information on the help that is available and to register for home ownership assistance, visit www.housingoptions.co.uk.
Buying outright on the open market
As with many large landlords, Peabody sometimes sells some of its homes in order to reinvest into maintaining and improving the rest of its portfolio. We enter these properties into a number of London auction houses for sale on the open market. View our auctions page for details of forthcoming sales.
