How Does the Right to Buy Mortgages Scheme Work?

The Right to Buy scheme enables council tenants to purchase their rented homes, often with significant discounts.

Here’s what you need to know:

You must have been a council tenant for at least three years, though these do not need to be consecutive.

Depending on your tenancy length, you could qualify for discounts of up to 70% off the market value of the property (subject to caps).

A Right to Buy mortgage helps cover the remaining cost of the property after the discount has been applied.

Our expert team will assess your eligibility and find the most suitable mortgage product for your needs.
