Right To Buy
The Right to Buy scheme was first introduced by the Government in 1980. It allows council and some other secure tenants to buy their rented council or housing association home at a discounted price.
Attwaters can help you through the process and advise you on everything you’ll need to know. For instance, we can advise you on your entitlement, your discount eligibility, your rights and on funding your purchase. Acting on your behalf, we’re here to protect your interests as well as deal with the conveyancing process involved in purchasing your home from your landlord.
There are time limits to be adhered to on both sides. We will advise on these and on the other special aspects of a Right to Buy transaction. In particular, the council or housing association landlords have the right to request that you repay some, or all, of the discount received, should you decide to sell your property within five years of buying.
If you’re thinking of buying, talk to one of our Residential Property team first.
