Sales - Right to Buy

Photo: selection of leaflets on your right to buy your home

Council Tenants can still buy their house from the Council.

The government changed the Right to Buy legislation in 2002, but people who took up a tenancy with the Council prior to 30 September 2002 qualify under the old scheme, provided they have not transferred to another house after that date. Tenants taking up a new Council tenancy on or after 30 September 2002 qualify under the new scheme.
