The Right to Buy Scheme was introduced in the 1980s to allow council tenants who fit certain criteria to buy the property in which they live at a discount. It has been extended to include housing association tenants and means that you can buy the property you have lived in for many years, a place you consider home.

If you are a council or housing association tenant and wish to buy the house you currently live in, you should first approach your housing office. Once you have submitted a successful application, the team at Clapham & Collinge can assist you through the process of purchasing a property under the Right to Buy Scheme.
