The Social Homebuy pilot enables tenants of participating local authorities and housing associations to purchase a share in their rented home at a discount. Four housing associations and one local authority began offering Social Homebuy initially and a further 74 housing associations and five local authorities are now joining the pilot. Some landlords are offering the scheme widely across their stock. Others are targeting specific estates, locations or local authority areas. We estimate that the pilot scheme will be available this year across 5 per cent. of social stock.
