It has been over 20 years since Right to Buy legislation gave council tenants the right to buy the properties that they were living in. The RTB scheme, introduced in the 1980's by the Conservative government, aimed to offer everyone the opportunity of a decent home and so promote social cohesion, well being and self-dependence. Since its introduction, the RTB scheme has helped thousands of council tenants buy their properties from a Council or Housing Association. Although most buyers have been happy with their purchase and have considered it good value for money, it is important for any prospective buyer to be fully informed of all the facts and the obligations that they are taking on.
On this page, we aim to provide readers with answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions relating to the RTB scheme. Whilst we intend to provide readers with accurate information and advice, such information should not be taken as a complete and conclusive guide to the law.
