If you were a secure tenant on 5th December 2005, you are more than likely to be eligible for the Right to Buy Scheme.
The amount of discount depends on how long you have been a tenant. The longer your tenancy, the greater the discount you will receive up to a maximum limit.
Previous tenancies and tenancies with other councils and housing associations can sometimes count towards this.
If you’d like to find out more about the Right to Buy then take a look at the Government’s dedicated Right to Buy website at www.righttobuy.gov.uk. You can also use their Right to Buy calculator to help understand the level of discount you may be entitled to.
If you became a tenant after 5th December 2005, and have had your tenancy for three years, you could be eligible to apply through the Right to Acquire scheme.
The amount of discount you receive is a fixed amount published by the Government, regardless of how long you have been a tenant.
If you’d like to find out more about the right to acquire then take a look at the Government’s website page for Right to Acquire at www.gov.uk/right-to-acquire-buying-housing-association-home.
