Right to Buy transactions

Right to Buy rules and discounts can change, so current guidance should be checked before you proceed. Basic eligibility generally includes being a secure tenant with a public sector landlord for at least three years. The maximum discount in England currently depends on location.

A residential conveyancing solicitor can help ensure the legal formalities are fulfilled and that the transaction proceeds as planned.

Considerations can include:

• whether the property is your only or main home;
• whether the property is self-contained;
• whether the tenancy is secure;
• whether the landlord is a qualifying public sector landlord; and
• whether any exclusions or special rules apply.
