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.

Excellent Customer Service from initially Dan who arranged our Lifetime Mortgage. The members of the Admin Team were always friendly and helpful. Special mention to Kerry Bewell for her willingness, post-completion, to help when needed. I would definitely recommend UK Moneyman to others.

We used money man to help us find a mortgage for our first house nearly 7 years ago. They were brilliant at helping us navigate as self employed people. We are just about to use them for our next house!

Ami has been great. She explained everything clearly and answered all of our questions (silly or not). Communication was great, genuinely couldn't recommend this service or our advisor Ami more.

UK Moneyman have helped with my mortgage and remortgage for many years. Always really helpful and knowledgeable. My latest remortgage was done with Conor, who was great at making sure I was getting not just the best deal, but the right deal for my needs.

I found Warren Bailey to be a very helpful and knowledgeable advisor when I discussed with him the potential options for a retirement mortgage . He had contacted me within a day of my seeking an initial conversation with him , and he reassured me there were lenders out there who would consider a mortgage paid out of pension , despite my own bank nort even talking to me as I was over 70 ! Within a couple days Warren had led me through the onboarding process , had explained what documents were needed and had found me a lender suited to my requirements. An excellent experience, and I would recommend him strongly to people looking for a retirement mortgage, and generally . Victor Abrams
