Right to Buy
In line with a government review of the Right to Buy scheme, new discounts will apply to all applications from the 21 November. The maximum discount for any application received by us - either by post, email, or other means of service - will be £34,000.
The Right to Buy scheme helps council and housing association tenants buy their home for a discounted price.

Some homes cannot be bought under the Right to Buy scheme. They include:
• sheltered housing
