Right to Buy

The Right to Buy is a scheme that allows tenants who rent a public or council property to purchase their home at a discounted price. The discount is based on how long they have lived there and other factors. This gives tenants an opportunity to own their home, rather than just renting, often at a more affordable rate. The program aims to promote homeownership and give tenants more control over their living arrangements. However, there are specific criteria and rules they must meet to qualify for this scheme.
