The Right to Buy Scheme has provided the chance for tenants to buy their council property partially discounted, subject to the applicant’s eligibility.
The discounted price can be influenced by the property's market value, the length of time you've been a public sector tenant, the location you are in and the type of property you are buying.
Specific calculations can vary, so it's always worth checking with someone to know the specifics of what you may be entitled to.
The criteria that you need to meet to be eligible for the scheme includes you renting for at least 3 years from the local council or housing association and you also have to be secure tenants of council property.
Your 3 years of renting do not have to continuous, however, this does depend on to your personal circumstance. This is why a mortgage advice in Derby can be helpful to see if you are eligible.
Alternately, to keep yourself updated with the rules and regulations, you can also check out the government Own Your Home website.
When it comes to utilising the Right to Buy Scheme, the property will be first valued at full market price and before purchase will be when the government discount will be applied.

Ami has been great. She explained everything clearly and answered all of our questions (silly or not). Communication was great, genuinely couldn't recommend this service or our advisor Ami more.

UK Moneyman have helped with my mortgage and remortgage for many years. Always really helpful and knowledgeable. My latest remortgage was done with Conor, who was great at making sure I was getting not just the best deal, but the right deal for my needs.

I found Warren Bailey to be a very helpful and knowledgeable advisor when I discussed with him the potential options for a retirement mortgage . He had contacted me within a day of my seeking an initial conversation with him , and he reassured me there were lenders out there who would consider a mortgage paid out of pension , despite my own bank nort even talking to me as I was over 70 ! Within a couple days Warren had led me through the onboarding process , had explained what documents were needed and had found me a lender suited to my requirements. An excellent experience, and I would recommend him strongly to people looking for a retirement mortgage, and generally . Victor Abrams

We would have given them 20 stars. Both Warren & Lizzi have worked so hard on our behalf, in what has not been the smoothest of circumstances. They have been so professional and kept us updated. Would thoroughly recommend this company. With grateful thanks in getting us our mortgage.

I would highly recommend UK Money Man, especially Matthew Collinson and Paula. They have done an amazing job for me from start to finish. My previous mortgage broker got my application declined through TMW, and I was very stressed and worried. When I came to UK Money Man, they completely changed the game for me. Matthew was always helpful, professional, and kept me updated at every stage — even on his day off. That level of service really meant a lot to me. Paula was also fantastic and worked hard on my application. Thanks to their hard work and support, my mortgage was approved. I truly appreciate everything they have done for me and my family. I would definitely recommend Matthew, Paula, and UK Money Man to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive mortgage broker.
