Buying your Homes Tasmania rental

If you are a tenant of Homes Tasmania you can apply to buy the house.

Several community housing organisations manage properties on behalf of Homes Tasmania. They are Centacare Evolve Housing, Community Housing Limited, Housing Choices Tasmania and Mission Australia Housing.

If you are a tenant of a community housing organisation living in a house owned by Homes Tasmania you can also apply to buy the house.

The first step is to apply to a bank or other financial institution for pre-approval for a home loan.

The second step is to write to Homes Tasmania and apply to buy the house and include a loan pre-approval form from your bank or financial institution.

If you have made any improvements to the house you are renting, you may have the value of improvements discounted from the purchase price of the property. This discount is subject to approval from Homes Tasmania. We will organise an assessment of the value of improvements.
