I don't understand why it's at tax payers expense?

No it definitely is possible, I know people that have done it and by reading this thread so do others here.

A house still gets passed down here, and if someone stays (or claims to) in the property for 6 months the house/tenancy can also be transferred to them even if the original tenant still stays there and then purchased.

And the article above states in bold that the NHF said the subsidy will cost tax payers £5.8bn
