Some rural schemes do not allow full ownership, this is to make sure that there is always a stock of affordable housing in rural locations....A housing provider owns the remaining share and you pay rent on that share....The housing provider will grant you a lease for the fixed period, which also sets out your rights and responsibilities, and those of the landlord.
