What is a Right to Buy mortgage?

If you have lived in your council property for some time (a minimum of two years), you may be able to purchase it from your local authority. The scheme was introduced in 1980 and since then over a million young families and low earners have managed to get a foot on the property ladder because of it. The longer you have lived in your home, the lower the purchase price.
