Home ownership schemes

This section outlines the government's policy for the main home ownership schemes (HomeBuy, Right to Buy and Right to Acquire) that are available to people who cannot afford to buy a home without help but who can meet the long-term financial commitment of home ownership.

This section also includes links to key research and other publications and information about Key Worker Living (under HomeBuy).
 
If you are a tenant or are looking to buy your home, further information about how to apply for each scheme is available on the DirectGov (external link) website.
