The Right to Buy is a government-initiated program designed to provide eligible residents living in council-owned properties with the opportunity to purchase their homes at a discounted price.
This scheme allows secure tenants of council properties, who have spent at least 3 years as public sector tenants (non-consecutively), to buy their homes and become homeowners.
With the help of a mortgage broker in York, like ourselves, we can help check if you are eligible for the scheme.
Alternately, to keep yourself updated with the rules and regulations, you can also check out the government Own Your Home website.
Various factors will determin the exact cost of your Right to Buy property.
The discounted price can be influenced by the property’s market value, the length of time you’ve been a public sector tenant, the location you are in and the type of property you are buying.
We tend to find, the longer you’ve been a tenant, the higher the discount you may receive.
The specific calculations can vary, so it’s always worth checking with someone to know the specifics of what you may be entitled to.
One big advantage of a Right to Buy mortgage in York is that it is most likely that there is already equity in the house, this could reduce some off your house price or be used as part of your deposit.
Often when purchasing a Right to Buy you will be a first time buyer, we love working with first time buyers!
