Properties in London are covered by a separate scheme called London Living Rent.

Council and housing association homes

Some local councils and housing associations advertise Rent to Buy homes.

Check the shared ownership scheme service or with your local council or housing association for more information. There may be extra eligibility requirements to apply.
