The Right to Buy Scheme allows most council tenants to buy their council home at a reduced discounted rate. To see whether you are eligible for this, you can check this out on the government’s website here https://righttobuy.gov.uk/am-i-eligible/eligibility-quiz/

Generally though, you can apply to buy your council home if:

• It’s your only or main home;
• It’s self-contained
• You’re a secure tenant
• You’ve had a public sector landlord (for example, a council, housing association or NHS trust) for 3 years – it does not have to be 3 years in a row.

Since it’s introduction in the 1980’s we’ve handled thousands of Right to Buy transactions and helped council tenants get onto the property ladder and have the joy of owning their own home.

We do all we can to make sure the purchase process goes as smoothly as possible, but sometimes things do happen that we are not expecting, which is why we offer a “No Move, No Fee” guarantee for your peace of mind.
