Could Right to Buy be your route onto the property ladder?
If you live in a council property and meet the eligibility criteria, you may be able to buy your home at a discounted price through the Right to Buy scheme. Many people don’t realise that in some cases, the discount can be used in place of a traditional cash deposit.
The process is simple in principle:
✔️ Check if you qualify for Right to Buy
✔️ Apply to your local council
✔️ Receive your offer notice and discount details
✔️ Arrange a mortgage and affordability assessment
✔️ Appoint a solicitor and complete the purchase
One of the biggest advantages is that your Right to Buy discount may reduce the amount of cash deposit required, making home ownership more accessible than many people think.
Every situation is different, and getting advice early can help you understand affordability, lender options and avoid unnecessary delays.
