Right to Buy Your Council House

Council Tenants Have a Right to Buy Their Home at a Discount

The government has increased the discount available for council tenants who are thinking about buying their home.  The amount of discount depends on how long you have been a tenant and the type of property that you are buying (a flat or a house).

They have also launched a new website to help tenants who are interested in the scheme. The link is below
