Buy your home

You could buy the home you live in

Buying options

There are a number of schemes that allow tenants to buy the home they live in at a discount. This takes into account the amount of time that somebody has lived in their home and gives them the opportunity of buying at less than the market rate.

There are different options depending on the kind of tenacy you have and all are subject to certain conditions:

• right to acquire - for registered social landlord tenants
• preserved right to buy - for council tenants, and tenants of housing association homes that were previously owned by a local authority
• social homebuy - applicable on certain estates only
