Housing law - is it possible to have a hire-purchase agreement on a house?

Brainaddict

slight system overdrive
This would be between organisations. So the situation I'm imagining is a mother housing co-op (which can get good interests rates) leasing a building to a new housing co-op (which can't get good interest rates). The lease would ideally be for the duration of the mortgage and the new housing co-op could buy out the building for the remaining value of the mortgage at any time.

I've no idea if you could get a mortgage on this basis btw - that's a slightly different question. But I know housing law means there are limits on the types of leases you can have on houses - but I don't know if that only applies to individuals rather than organisations. Anyone know? Or anyone have an idea who might know, short of an expensive lawyer?
