This is for certain homes built or purchased after 1 April 1997.

Home Ownership Scheme for Tenants (HOST)

As most Riverside tenants do not have the Right to Buy or Right to Acquire, Riverside has developed its own voluntary scheme to assist eligible tenants to buy their property. If you live in a house (not a flat, maisonette, bungalow etc.), in an eligible area, you may be able to buy your home at full open market value, without a discount.
