We have a very long waiting list for our home finance - the wait is approximately 5 years for our public waiting list.
Customers on the public waiting list that wait for their turn to come up, and who have not invested in a GYS Home account with us, will receive our standard rental rates.
Pfida Tip: You will need to register to join the public waiting list and complete your finance requirements, as this can impact your waiting list position. You can complete the form here.
If you haven’t invested with us, your position on the waiting list could change as we prioritise purchasing homes for our GYS Home account holders. Read below to find out more.
Priority waiting list for GYS Home account holders
Investing your money in a GYS Home account will boost your position on our waiting list and grant you prioritisation to be considered for home finance. Please note, investing with us does not guarantee we can provide finance, as you will still need to meet our affordability and eligibility criteria. Our AIP calculator on your account dashboard can provide you with an indication of whether you will be accepted for home finance.
We offer the benefit of boosting your waiting list position because we are keen to support anybody who is supporting our growth and vision first and foremost. Our GYS Home accounts exist to help you grow your savings through fair and ethical returns and at the same time your funds help others whilst you wait. When the time comes for you to purchase your own property, your GYS Home funds are automatically applied towards your initial equity (deposit). We consider it a win-win situation, what do you think?

As you are helping others purchase their homes whilst you grow your savings and wait for your turn on the list, we want to reward you. We do this by offering the following to our GYS Home account holders:
