What is council house purchase?

In 1980, the government introduced the Right to Buy scheme. This allowed council house residents who have lived in their property for over two years to buy it at a discount price. This type of deal has since helped over a million people get a foot on the property ladder and own their own home - particularly low-income families and single people. Council house purchase rates can be some of the lowest on the market.

What are council house purchase rates, and what are your options?

Council house purchase rates vary from lender to lender, but are generally competitive and fair to help you buy your new home with ease. Right to Buy is the largest scheme of this kind, but there are other similar options when looking to buy tour council property. Another initiative is the House Purchase Grant - a scheme to help council tenants buy houses in the private sector through the aid of a grant. If you live in Scotland, the Homestake scheme offers a similar arrangement to the Right to Buy, but works on a principle of shared ownership. .
