The Right to Buy Scheme allows tenants in England to purchase their council property partially discounted, if they fit the criteria to be eligible for the scheme.
As long as you have spent at least 3 years renting from the local council or housing association and are secure tenants of council property, you may be eligible for the government Right to Buy Scheme.
These 3 years do not necessarily have to be consecutive, though this varies depending on the situation. It is always worth getting in touch with a Mortgage Advisor in Lincoln to check your eligibility for a mortgage.
Alternately, to keep yourself updated with the rules and regulations, you can also check out the government Own Your Home website.
In the right to buy sale, the property will be valued at full market price and then a government discount applied before purchase.
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.
The specific calculations can vary, so it’s always worth checking with someone to know the specifics of what you may be entitled to.
Our Mortgage Advisors in Lincoln can help you achieve your home-owning goal by using their knowledge and experience within the mortgage industry to provide expert Right to Buy Mortgage Advice in Lincoln.
The process begins with you checking that you are eligible and requesting an application form from the council. Once you qualify, you will receive an offer notice which sets out the property value and your discount. You then have a set period to accept this offer.
As an open and honest Mortgage Broker in Lincoln, we can help with your mortgage, solicitors and survey as and when required. As part of our initial free initial mortgage consultation, we can give you an idea of how much your mortgage will cost and if you qualify.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
There may be a fee for mortgage advice. The fee is up to 1% but a typical fee is £495.
