The Affordable Home Ownership Bill would redefine what counts as affordable housing to include rent-to-buy homes, require a minimum share of new affordable homes to be offered on rent-to-buy terms, and provide stamp duty relief when someone buys an affordable rent-to-buy home. It aims to make it easier for households, especially first-time buyers on lower incomes, to move into owner-occupation with government-backed options.
