Hi there, I have heard of people who have rented with a view to buying a property, but not of a gov scheme. Probably best to speak to an agent over here. Would suggest Mick Yates of Luz del Sol or Dawn Witcomb at 2let2buy2sell. Both will tell you how things are. As an aside, and apologies if this is teaching granny to suck eggs, but you will probably be outside the Brexit withdrawal agreement provisions for future healthcare and pension guarantees and will need to apply for residency as third country nationals. This means changes in the amount of money you will need in order to apply for residency. Hope this helps and good luck with your plans.
