Rent a home

These properties are located in Darlington. Fantastically located close to primary and secondary schools as well being within walking distance to convenience stores and more.

The properties are ideally suited for commuters, being 5 minutes’ drive from the A1 North & South, and 10 minutes from Darlington Railway Station. They are also brilliantly located to open parks including North Park, which is a large green space away from the centre of town suitable for all the family to enjoy.

These fabulous brand new homes are going to be available as part of our Rent to Buy scheme.

With the Rent to Buy scheme you rent your home for a 5-year period at an intermediate rent of 80% to market rent. The idea is that this allows you to save up for a deposit in this time period. After the 5 year rental period, you will then have the opportunity to purchase your home (100% including freehold) directly from Hellens Residential at market value. The rent that you pay throughout this time does not contribute to the purchase of property.  If after 5 years you do not want to buy then you are able to continue renting at market rent levels, end your tenancy, or we may sell the property on the open market.

The 5-year rental period is as follows:

1-year probationary tenancy (You are not able to end your tenancy is this period)

2-year fixed tenancy

2-year fixed tenancy
