Right to Buy

You could be eligible to buy your property through the Right to Buy scheme if:

• The property is your main home/only place of residence
• You are a secure tenant.
• The property is self-contained.
• For three years you have had a public sector landlord, such as a council, housing association or the NHS Trust.
• You are making a joint application with someone who shares your tenancy.
• You are making a joint application with up to three family members who have lived with you for at least a year.
• Whilst you were living in the property it was owned by the council before being sold to another landlord.

You may be entitled to a discount ranging from 35-60% for a flat or 50-70% for a house; this can often vary depending on the length of time you have been a tenant in the property, the type of property and the total value of the property.
