Some of the people we've helped recently

  • Daisy

    July 2023

    This company is amazing. My partner and I have just exchanged contracts on a 2-bed house that we absolutely love. We'll finally have a place to call our own, which is something we have wanted for so long. Without Wayhome, this would have been impossible.

    I can't believe that more people haven't heard of Wayhome. It's such a great scheme for the majority of people that earn good money but can't get the mortgage they need. We never thought we could own a property and Wayhome made it possible.

    What attracted me to Wayhome is the fact that thier product is Sharia-compliant, with no borrowing or mortgage involved, providing peace of mind for me as a Muslim. With as little as 5% deposit, I will get to call this my own home and won't have to worry about being asked to leave.

Jennie's house buying diary

Before they found Wayhome, Jennie and her two girls had been renting for years.

Despite saving a deposit (and never missing a rental payment) Jennie couldn't get a big enough mortgage for the home they actually wanted in the area they know and love.

I was stuck to be honest. I really didn't want to move out of the area just so we could buy any old homes as both of my kids are at really nice schools.

That's when Jennie went in search of other options that'd help her to buy with a minimum 5% deposit and found Wayhome.

To be honest, at first, I thought, is this genuine? Is this real? It seemed like it was just too good to be true.
But I realised they genuinely do help people that don't want to be stuck between renting and owning.

After creating an account she got her property search well and truly started.

After going on a few viewings they found the home they desperately wanted, got an offer accepted, moved in and have made their new place feel like home.

    First-time buyer lifelines as Help to Buy deadline approaches

    "Similar to shared ownership you buy the proportion of the home you can afford.

    Wayhome's funding partners buy the rest, so there's no need for a mortgage.

    You then rent the part of the property you don't pwn back from Wayhome and can up your share over time."

  • Dad 'Laughed At' By Mortgage Broker Buys Home With £25,000 Deposit Through Scheme

    "Customers could buy a home worth up to 10 times their household income, as compared with 3.5 times if buying with a typical mortgage.

    This means would-be homeowners can avoid the usual 'starter' or 'first-time buyer' sized properties."

    First-time buyers can buy a home 'mortgage-free' under rent-to-own scheme

    "The latest version is backed by a £500 million investment from pension funds, and under it, the buyer pays a cash deposit of between 5% and 30% and the company fronts the rest.

    Buyers can also increase how much they own by buying more in increments every month, known as staircasing."

We've helped lots of happy homeowners

    Asmaa Excellent customer service and specifically Nadia. She understood our situation clearly and helped us a lot with every step. Clear communication throughout the whole process and would highly recommend.

    I would highly recommend Wayhome to anyone interested in buying a home through them. We have a dedicated account manager who is friendly, knowledgeable and responsive, and who is making the home buying process easy for us :-)

  • Ibrahim

    Wayhome has been very easy to deal with and has in the space of just a month changed my perception on house buying (which had at once seemed such an arduous and timely process - without mentioning the sharia implications). Recommend for all looking for an unambiguously halal source of house purchase!

  • Junior

    Wayhome has made it easier to buy your first home.The process has been simple and easy to understand. Chris who has been our sales manager has been great. Helped us through every step and always on hand to pick up any of our concerns or questions. I recommend Wayhome to anyone with low deposit and looking for a new home. It is definitely a great way to get your first home 😌

    Great experience so far using wayhome to purchase my first home. Really impressed with the simple process supported by an effective online portal that takes you through the journey from application submission through to every step of the home buying process. Highly recommended mortgage alternative for those that need flexibility.

  • Kerem

    February 2023

    I am grateful to Wayhome for helping me achieve my dream of owning a home. Their innovative approach to mortgage and home ownership made it possible for me to achieve this goal, even with a decent deposit and good income.

  • Kerry

    Really easy process. Helpful and friendly staff. Have been recommending to everyone who will listen!

  • Alex

    November 2022

    A new way of buying a home made me sceptical from the off, but, once you understand just how it works and how Wayhome can help you get on the property ladder and secure a new home within your means, then this takes away nearly all the stress of home buying. You’ve still got to go and view but once you’ve found your dream home the team make the process so easy. Thank you Wayhome

    We are currently in the buying process with Wayhome and can’t fault any of the team whatsoever. Quick to help and reply to any questions With no hassle. Would definitely recommend

  • Heidi

    We stumbled upon Wayhome when I received an email from Zoopla, after looking into the scheme further we decided to give it a go as we’d only managed to save a 5% deposit and we were having to move again due to our Landlords change in circumstance. We were approved and found a house we fell in love with and had an offer accepted. We’re now starting the conveyancing process and beginning to believe this may actually happen. Nadia has been lovely at guiding us through the initial process and very patient.

  • Haroon

    October 2022

    My wife and I recently had a child, and decided it was time to move out of the family home, but trying to get onto the property ladder through a shariah compliant means, whilst both being self-employed, has been near impossible. Along comes Wayhome, to save the day. They offer a means by which getting ono the property ladder is made as easy as possible, in a shariah compliant way.

  • Misbah

    October 2022

    Wayhome have been absolutely amazing in helping us with our journey to finding our home. Aamir and Nadia have helped us every step of the way. They were very patient with all our questions and were always available to give us an update when needed. Wayhome deals with a lot of the stress that comes with buying a home. I definitely will be recommending Wayhome to family and friends.

  • Lucy

    Me and my partner would not have ended up with the house we have if it wasn’t for Wayhome. Their communication was excellent and they have such lovely, down to earth staff helping you through your journey. Thank you very for everything you have done!

  • Daisy

    August 2022

    My partner and I had tried multiple different ways to get on the property ladder with no success - until we found Wayhome. Now we have had an offer accepted on a home in an area that we love. So far, our experience has been nothing but amazing. A huge thank you to wayhome for making this possible for us!

  • Luke S

    September 2022

    I have been very impressed with the whole service so far. Mo has been great in keeping me up to date and explaining everything we need to know at every step. I would recommend people explore Wayhome as an option when thinking about getting on the property ladder. It is the right thing for us, at this time, and means we can get the house we would otherwise struggle to buy.

  • Luke B

    September 2022

    Wayhome have been amazingly helpful throughout the process of buying our first home. We were kept in the loop every step of the way and they were keen to help out with an queries or problems that we had. I’d recommend Wayhome to anyone that wanted to get themselves on the ladder but were facing difficulties through the “conventional” methods. We have an amazing first home and have Wayhome to thank for it.

  • Nina

    May 2022

    Our landlord decided to put our home on the market at the end of our tenancy contract. We had been saving for this eventuality for two years, and had a relatively decent deposit and combined annual income. In our tricky situation we began looking into Wayhome further, reading through the FAQ’s with a fine-tooth comb for ‘the catch’. Well the truth is, there isn’t one. We are now in the final stages of buying a new home. Not the house that we thought we would be buying, but a better one, in our home village where we want our children to grow up. Thanks to Wayhome, we are able to fulfil our dream and have the perfect home for our family despite the fact that house prices have increased so dramatically in the last couple of years.

  • Khalil

    September 2022

    My only complaint is I wish I found wayhome much earlier. I can now buy a home almost 10 times my wages , with only a minimum 5% deposit, this gives me a much more wider choice of homes to hunt. The team is amazing and willing to provide answers to any questions you may have. Please keep up the good work.

  • Mohamed

    June 2022

    With only 4.5 times wages plus the decent deposit that we've saved for many years, we were nowhere closer to buying a property, thought it will be impossible to secure a place in London, also fed up of renting over 10 years having to move every 2 years roughly, with the help of wayhome, finally we've moved to our new place last week! A fantastic organisation! great cutomer support from beginning to end, thank you so much to the entire team from Wayhome :)

  • Nabila

    Our experience with Wayhome has been amazing and we can't fault them on a single thing. From our very first introductory phone call (with lovely Nadia) we have been fortunate to deal with extremely professional and knowledgable staff, and response times have been excellent (even when we put in an offer during the Christmas break!). Despite being self-employed, Wayhome made it easy for us to buy a home with them – something which would have been difficult with a conventional mortgage. For those who are looking for an affordable way to buy their dream home, we can't recommend Wayhome highly enough.
