Right to Buy

The Right to Buy scheme can help you to buy your own home if you are a council or housing association tenant.
The scheme offers a discount of up to £108,000 (£80,900 outside London) off the market value of your home, if your application is received on, or after, 6 April 2018.

If your application is received before 6 April 2018, the maximum discount is £104,900 (£78,600 outside London). 

How do you qualify for Right to Buy?

You’ll need to have been a council or housing association tenant for at least three years.

However, we can take into consideration the time you spent as a tenant of another council, or housing association as a secure tenant.

If up to three family members have been living with you for at least 12 months, then they can join your Right to Buy application.
