Right to Buy: Contact an agent

If you are a council tenant and have had a public sector tenancy for at least 3 years, you may be eligible to buy your home at a discount under the Right to Buy scheme. You may also have a Preserved Right to Buy if you are a housing association tenant, but you were a council tenant and were living in your rented home when the council transferred it to the housing association.

The government’s official Right to Buy Agent service is here to help council and housing association tenants like you who are interested in understanding and taking up your Right to Buy your home.
