Get on the property ladder sooner
Wave goodbye to renting and shared ownership. Shorten the amount of time spent saving for a large enough deposit to buy the home you really want. Start with a 5% deposit and own 100% of your home so you can paint the walls and nail up some art however you please. It’s your home on your terms.
Break free from restrictions
The Help to Buy scheme restricts your options to new-build properties. Overcome these limitations and buy the home that suits your lifestyle including pre-owned properties.
Buy better at a fair price
Help to Buy lends on new-builds that are priced a premium— our Proportunity Home Index (PHI) is powered by machine learning technology to scope out the best value properties in the areas you want to live in.
James & Vicki used our predictive Proportunity Home Index (PHI) and found out that the home was 5-6% undervalued. With a boosted budget and the confidence to buy a home, Vicki said, “Right there, we made the decision to put in the offer for what they were asking for.”
Getting started with Proportunity is easy
We offer a shared equity loan. Meaning if we lend you 25% of your home's value, then you pay back the same proportion at the point of repayment.
Find the home you love
Either find one yourself or use our PHI to uncover the best value homes in your desired areas.
Apply for financing
With just a 5% deposit, you can increase your budget by up to £150k or 25%. A Proportunity loan tops up your main mortgage.
Repay when you’re ready
As an equity loan, the amount you pay back is linked to your home's value. In the interim, you only pay interest each month.
Why Proportunity over Help to Buy?
Frequently Asked Questions
Since we are investing in your home alongside you, we are quite choosy about the homes we provide a loan on. To check whether a property is eligible, you'll need to add it to your Favourites List for us to evaluate it. While we offer loans on most property types, certain purchase types are excluded from the Proportunity Loan. For instance, we cannot lend on properties sold at auction, 'cash buyers only' homes, or shared ownership properties.
Unfortunately, as Proportunity and the Help to Buy scheme are both second charge loans, you cannot use them both at the same time.
We've designed our shared equity loan to be similar to the government's Help to Buy scheme, but with fewer restrictions. You can use our loan for existing homes as well as new-builds, and you don't need to be a first time buyer. With Proportunity, you will be 100% owner of your home.

A smooth experience from start to finish The team at Proportunity were great - the coordination between my mortgage advisor and Proportunity was seamless and it was always made clear to me what I need to do in the process to move it along. A brilliant service that enables first time buyers to get on the ladder with an equity loan but without the markup of a new build help to buy!
I was looking to purchase a property but didn't quite have the deposit amount I needed. I had heard about Help to Buy, however I saw that the scheme was limited to new builds only. The team could not have been friendlier and they explained everything I needed to know about the second charge loan in a way that was clear and easy to understand. They even referred me to an in house mortgage adviser who was great in confirming my affordability and choosing a suitable mortgage product. I have just completed on my Victorian property purchase today and could not be happier. Thank you to the Proportunity team, I cant recommend them enough.
I added the property I was planning to buy to the website, waited for it to be accepted and then viewed the property. Using Proportunity allowed me to afford a flat in London which I’m extremely happy about and I would highly recommend using instead of help to buy as it allows you to buy older properties which will go up in value. The website is easy to use, and the legal process was really straightforward. The whole process took 4 months from putting the offer in to moving into my flat!
