Social HomeBuy is a scheme designed to help our tenants buy the home they are already living in. Subject to approval, you could buy your home outright with a discount up to £16,000 or, you can choose to buy a share in your home with a smaller discount depending on the share you buy. If you buy a share, you continue to pay rent on the part you don't own, and you can buy the rest or more shares later on.

We think that areas which have a mixture or residents, including home owners and both private and social renters, makes for more balanced and sustainable communities. That's why we introduced Social HomeBuy as a way to help more renters become owners and we're targeting the scheme at the following boroughs:

• Barnet
• Bracknell Forest
• Camden
• Ealing Council
• Enfield
• Hackney
• Haringey
• Havering
• Islington Council
• Newham
• Reading
• Slough
• Tower Hamlets
• Waltham Forest
• West Berkshire
• Westminster
• Winsor & Maidenhead
• Wokingham

So if you're a One Housing tenant who's thinking about getting on the property ladder, please get in touch with us by telephone on 0300 123 2034 or send us an email.
