Right To Buy

At Eden Solicitors,our conveyancing experts are here to help prospective homeowners find out everything they need to know about the Right to Buy scheme and guide them through what can sometimes be a complicated process.

What Is The Right To Buy Scheme

Right to Buy is a government scheme that gives social tenants in England and Wales the opportunity to purchase their council time at a reduced price.
The initiative is available to those who have been a council or public sector tenant for at least five years in total.
The discount available through the scheme is based on the length of time for which you have been a tenant, the type of property you are living in and the location of the property.
However, the initiative is not open to you if:

The property is not your main home
You have been told by the courts to leave the property
You are being declared bankrupt or you are an undischarged bankrupt
The property is not self-contained
You owe money to creditors
