What is the Right to Buy scheme?

The Right to Buy scheme helps eligible secure tenants of Local Authorities and Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) buy their own home.

As of 6 April 2024 you could receive a discount on the cost of buying your home of up to a maximum of £102,400 based on the amount of time that you have been a tenant. These discounts will apply to applications which are served by us from the tenant on or after 6 April 2024. The discounts do not apply retrospectively to applications made before 6 April 2024.

Any land let together with your home (for example, gardens and garages) will usually be treated as part of your home.

For more information and to understand the cost of home ownership please visit the 'Own your home' website.
