The Right to Buy Scheme is a government ran scheme that allows eligible tenants in England to purchase their property from the council for a partially discounted price.
The discounted price can be influenced by the property’s market value, the length of time you’ve been a public sector tenant, the location you are in and the type of property you are buying.
The specific calculations can vary, so it’s always worth checking with someone to know the specifics of what you may be entitled to.
If you have spent at least 3 years (not always continuous) renting from a local housing association and are secure tenants of council property, you may be eligible for the government Right to Buy Scheme.
When purchasing a property via Right to Buy, the property will be valued at the full market price with the government discount applied prior to purchase.
You may have the right to purchase your property from the council at a discounted price if you are living in a council house and named on the tenancy agreement.
Usually, due to the purchase price being discounted, no deposit will be required.

As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process and found it quite daunting, especially with rising interest rates and uncertainty in the property market. We’re extremely grateful to Dinah and Jo for their support and would highly recommend UK Moneyman to any first-time buyer looking for a professional, knowledgeable and supportive mortgage broker.

As first-time buyers, we had very little knowledge of the mortgage process. We changed properties along the way, and our circumstances made the mortgage process more complex than we initially expected. Dinah and Jo were absolutely brilliant throughout. We would definitely recommend UK Moneyman to anyone looking to set up a mortgage.

Leo and Lizzi were exceptionally helpful. Leo gave us great advise, not just on products available, but on things like bidding on properties, whether we were likely to be approved for more complicated properties etc. Lizzi was very communicative and thorough in processing our application, and after our first sale fell through we didn't hesitate to use UK Moneyman again. Thanks so much to Leo and Lizzi!
