About Abode

Abode is the key to home ownership for millions of families who are currently locked out from purchasing homes.

We’re on a mission to turn renters into owners and deliver financial freedom for families.

Our rent-to-own programme allows customers to move into their dream properties today, fixes their rent and helps them save. Customers can quickly accumulate a deposit, improve their credit score, and get mortgage-ready to fully own their home.
