The Right to Buy scheme gives
eligible council tenants the right to buy
their property from their council at a
discount. Tenants of housing associations
who hold the preserved right to buy (PRTB)
may also be eligible for the scheme. Are
you eligible?
- If you have been a secure council
tenant for at least two years (or five
years if you became a tenant after 18
January 2005) you are likely to have the
Right to Buy your council home at a
discount.
- If your were a secure tenant of a
local authority and the ownership of
your property was transferred to a
housing association you may be eligible
for a Preserved Right to Buy (PRTB) for
your property. This will only apply if
you are still the tenant of the same
property before and after the transfer.
You do not have the right to buy if:
- you are an assured tenant of a
registered social landlord (RSL) and
do not possess a PRTB
- your home is rented in relation
to your employment
- the courts have issued a
possession order for you to leave
your home
- you are undergoing bankruptcy
proceedings
- you live in housing specially
provided for older people and (in
certain cases) disabled people
