The application process
- Make an online application at: Right to Buy: buying your council home: Applying - GOV.UK
- We will issue you a form on request.
- On receipt of the form we will write advising whether the right to buy exists. This will be within 4 weeks.
- We then need to check details of tenancy with any previous landlord(s), along with other necessary checks.
- After this we will send our independent valuer to value the property. The resulting information will give us a gross price to which we will apply any discount.
- The maximum discount available against the valuation is currently £26,000 within North Warwickshire (as part of the West Midlands region).
- Once we have calculated the discount we will write to the applicant confirming the price. This will be done within 8 weeks of the letter detailed at point 2 (or 12 weeks if buying the lease of the property rather than the freehold).
- If the applicant writes to us accepting the offer we will then send the legal paperwork to their chosen solicitors within 4 weeks.
