The application process
- Make an online application at: https://www.ownyourhome.gov.uk/scheme/right-to-buy/applying/
- 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 with Housing, any previous landlord the applicant has had and Finance. After this we will send our valuer to value the property. The resulting information will give us a gross price to which we will apply any discount.
- Please note valid applications received:
- on or after the 21st November 2024 will be subject to the new rules which will provide a maximum discount of £26,000 within North Warwickshire (as part of the West Midlands region).
- on or before the 20th November* the maximum discount will be £102,400.(* Please note we must be in receipt of a correctly completed, valid application by this time)
- 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.
