Right to Buy Information
If you are a “secure Tenant” of a local authority or a housing association (not an “assured Tenant”) in England or Wales you may have the right to buy if you have been a tenant for the qualifying period.
The best place to start is to talk to your Housing Association first to see if you qualify and how much discount you are entitled to. Then speak to us if you want a mortgage.
The following is a summary of changes that apply to all applications submitted from 18th January 2005 onwards:
- the initial qualification period was extended from 2 years to 5 years for new tenants
- the discount repayment period was extended from 3 years to 5 years
- the amount of discount to be repaid if a property is resold within 5 years is now a percentage of the market value of the property when it is resold - disregarding the value of any improvements you have made
Right to Buy Process
The following are the main points of the right to buy (RTB) process:
- A Save Money On information pack will be sent to you
- Request your Right to buy (RTB1) form from your council or housing association
- Complete and send the form back to your council
- Council sends acknowledgement receipt: RTB2
- Council Valuer calls on Tenant at home to make a valuation Tenant receives Home Valuation from Council: Section 125
- Tenant supplys details of the Section 125 to Save Money On and we will search for the most suitable mortgage for you given your individual circumstances, we will then provide you with a personal illustration and budget planner with you to see if you would be comfortable with the repayments on your mortgage and other related costs.
- Agreement in principal issued by lender
- Arrange solicitors ( we can do this on your behalf or you can arrange your own )
- Lender will instruct Valuation
- Mortgage offer confirmed

Then you own your own home and you are responsible for its maintenace.
