Right to Buy (RTB) means that you may be entitled to buy your council home at a discount to the full market value.  If you are a secure tenant and have held a public sector tenancy for 2 years (or 5 years if your tenancy commenced after 18 January 2005), you may be able to purchase the property that you live in through the Right to Buy.  Once you have claimed the Right to Buy we will only usually carry out emergency repairs.

You could receive up to a maximum discount of £24,000 depending on the amount of time that you have been a tenant.

Find our more from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's website particulary their Your Right to Buy your Home booklet and Thinking of buying a Council Flat.
