Right to buy
Under the the Right to Buy scheme you can buy your home at a price lower than the full market value. This is because the length of time you have spent as a tenant entitles you to a discount.
How is the Right to Buy discount worked out?
The level of discount you’ll get on your Right to Buy council house is based on:
- How long you’ve been a tenant with a public sector landlord
- The type of property you’re buying (whether it’s a flat or a house)
- The value of your home
You can find out more about what discount you could get by visiting the Right to Buy discounts page on GOV.UK.
This policy sets out the eligibility criteria and discounts for those wishing to exercise the Right to Buy.
