What is a Right to Buy mortgage?

Right to Buy mortgages were introduced in 1980 as a scheme to help council tenants purchase their own property. The Right to Buy works by allowing you to buy the council house you are currently living in at a discount price. The longer you have lived in the property, the bigger the discount - and you will retain the title deeds from the council upon purchase. Some lenders will offer Right to Buy mortgage deals with good rates of interest.

Are you eligible for a right to buy mortgage?

You may be eligible for a Right to Buy mortgage if you:

- Currently live in a council house
- Have lived in your council property for at least two years
- Can afford to purchase the house under the Right to Buy conditions
- Your house isn’t part of an elderly, disabled or employment-related scheme

Call us on 0845 603 1525 for a free consultation with one of our friendly and experienced team. We are happy to discuss your situation and help you choose the best Right to Buy mortgage option.
