- The term for part-rent part-buy is Homebuy or Shared Ownership. One of them (I think it's Shared Ownership) allows you to do this with a new-build property which are specially built for this purpose. There are generally restrictions in place which vary by scheme, such as you must be a keyworker, you must already be working in the area, you must earn over a certain amount, etc. The other type (Homebuy, I think) allows you to go onto the open market and buy any home you want, and I'm not sure what the restrictions are which apply to this. In either case, you can only do this through a housing association or local authority, as far as I know. For example, Barratts is a company which builds apartments and houses but to purchase one through shared ownership you still need to go through the housing association. I would recommend that as a starting point, you contact your local council who will let you know if they provide these schemes, and if not will be able to point you in the direction of someone who does.
