Assured + Bridge Housing

A practical way forward.
For both sides.

We build the homes. Bridge supports people towards ownership. Investors help make it possible.

For future homeowners

Save for your own home.
While you live in it.

Saving a deposit while paying rent is hard. Rent-to-own gives you a plan to work towards buying, with practical help along the way.

$100
a week
Save $100 a week and Bridge matches it, dollar for dollar, up to $100 a week.
⅓When you buy, a third of any capital gain is taken off the purchase price.

You pay rent, commit to saving and work towards being ready for a mortgage. Bridge helps with a savings plan, financial education and regular check-ins. You do your part, with people alongside you who want you to succeed.

Bridge’s matching contribution is credited when you purchase. Eligibility and agreed programme terms apply.

Guaranteed
rent
Rent from Bridge Housing, under the agreed guarantee terms.
⅔You retain two-thirds of any capital gain when the household buys. The other third helps them make the purchase.

The numbers need to work for you too. Talk with John about the purchase price, rent, costs, guarantee and how the eventual sale works. You get a new-build rental with a purpose beyond the rent.

A word from John

I want more people to own their own homes.

John KenelFounder, Assured Property
Building in the Waikato since 2004

Owning a home gives you more say over your life and something to build on. I believe in taking responsibility for your future, and I know the right help can make a difference.

That’s why we’re working with Bridge Housing, a housing charity, at Aurora. We know how to build the homes. Bridge brings the support to help people work towards owning them.

Our name stays on the homes we build. Our office is in Cambridge. You know who you’re dealing with and where to find us.

For me, this is about helping people build a life that can’t easily be pushed around.
