Right-to-buy Purchases
Home / Legal
If your home is owned by the local council or a housing association, you may have the ‘Right to Buy’ your property. Typically, if you’ve been a tenant for more than a year, you may be eligible to purchase the property at a significant discount.

To exercise the Right to Buy, contact your local council or housing association for details on how to apply and the terms of the sale. Once you’re happy with the terms, you’ll need a solicitor or conveyancer to assist with the legal process and ensure everything is in order for the purchase.
Your transaction will be managed by a dedicated lawyer, providing clear, easy-to-understand information and regular updates via email, letter, or phone. Feel free to reach out at any time for progress updates.
