Buy your home - Right to Buy
Changes to the Right to Buy Discount
Following the recent budget announced on 30th October the maximum RTB discount will be reduced from £136,400 to £16,000 on the 21st November. This means that you will need to have your application submitted by the 20th November to ensure you are still eligible for the larger discount.
You will need to submit your application into our reception by 5pm or send it to us via email to homeownership@suttonhousingpartnership.org.uk by 11.59 on the 20th November. Any applications received after this will receive the new reduced discount.
Right to Buy allows most council tenants to buy their council home at a discount.
You can apply to buy your council home if:
- it is your only or main home
- it is self-contained
- you are a secure tenant
- you have had a public sector landlord (eg a council, housing association or NHS trust) for three years (it doesn’t have to be three years in a row).
