What Is The Right to Buy Scheme?

The right to buy scheme can allow tenants who live in England to purchase their property from the council for a discounted price.

If you have spent at least three years (not always continuous) renting from the public sector as opposed to privately and are secure tenants of council property, you may be eligible for the Right to Buy Scheme in Harrogate. In the right to Buy sale, the property will be valued at the full market price, with a government discount applied to it.

How The Discount Is Worked Out

The discount percentage depends on varying factors, such as where you are in the country and how long you’ve been a council tenant. A big advantage of the Right to Buy is that due to the discount, there will usually be equity in the house already. How much equity again depends on varying factors, such as how much your discount is and the value of the property.

The Right to Buy Process

• Firstly, you’ll need to contact the council and ask for an application form – This confirms your eligibility!
• Once you’ve been accepted, you’ll receive a purchase price, of which you’ll have a set amount of time to accept.
• Lastly, once a purchase price has been agreed on, we can get the ball rolling with your mortgage application!
