Join the team that’s rebuilding homeownership
Everyone should have the opportunity to own a home. Homeownership brings investment in your community, feelings of security and independence.
We’re rebuilding the homebuying process to make it simple, transparent and fair. If you can help us move the dial, we want to hear from you.
Meet our team
In 2018, Will and Sophia were renters looking at getting on the ladder with friends.
After high-street lenders wouldn’t give the group a mortgage, they started looking into why there was so little innovation in the mortgage market. Soon, their deposit had been invested into starting a company with a mission to finally make homebuying simple, transparent, and fair.
Today, Gen H is a growing team of 70+ employees committed to transforming the UK housing market for the better.

Ownership
We aim to embrace challenges and own the outcomes.
Honesty
We expect our employees to speak respectfully but frankly with one another at all times.
