Getting advice on
the right to buy
The Ministry of Housing,
Communities and Local Government
and local authorities are concerned
that tenants do not always receive
good advice when they ask private
companies and individuals for help
when buying their council homes.
Sometimes, tenants are asked to pay
a lot of money for things that
landlords will do for nothing - for
example, Right to Buy application
forms are available from landlords
and also on the Government
website, or they are paid money as
part of a deal under where the
company ends up owning the
property. Good for the company but
not always good for the tenants as
they could then be charged a higher
rent than the council could when it
let the property. The money received
by the tenant may not be enough to
prevent them from becoming
homeless.
It is often claimed that the Right to
Buy scheme is going to be changed
or ended. The Government has made
it clear in its Housing Green Paper
that it has no intention of making
any further significant changes to
the Right to Buy scheme in the
foreseeable future. Be suspicious if
anyone tries to tell you otherwise.
They may be trying to persuade you
to do something that benefits them
rather than you. If you need advice
on any aspect of the Right to Buy
scheme, contact your council first.
If you are approached or contacted
by a person or a company offering
to help you to buy your council
home, checkout what’s in it for them
and talk to your council before
signing up to any deal.

Important information
You may have been approached recently by
a private company offering to help you
purchase your home. We are receiving an
increasing number of telephone calls from
tenants about this and stress that:
these companies do not represent Slough
Borough Council; they have not been
engaged by the authority and do not have
any connection with slough borough
council whatsoever.
Several of these companies charge tenants a
fee for dealing with the Right to Buy scheme
and these fees can be quite substantial. They
may offer to add these fees to the mortgage
amount and you could then end up paying
substantially more over the life of your
mortgage. We strongly recommend that you
make sure you know what services are being
provided, and what charges you will incur
before signing any agreements or handing
over any money. You may be paying for
unnecessary services or services the council
will provide free under the Right to Buy
legislation.
The usual practice when tenants wish to
purchase their home is to liaise directly with
the council (your landlord). Whether you
apply to us direct or via a private company, it
is the council’s officers who will check your
eligibility for the scheme, who will process all
the necessary application documentation,
arrange a valuation (where applicable),
calculate your discount entitlement and send
you an offer notice. We do not charge for any
of the above services.
We will also supply a link to the booklet “Your
Right to Buy Your Home” as issued by the
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local
Government. This booklet explains the
scheme and contains a ‘step-by-step guide’
on the procedure including your rights and
obligations. The Department of Communities
and Local Government can be contacted on
0300 123 0913.
The council considers the process to be
private and confidential and we will
therefore deal directly with you and send all
correspondence direct to you, until such time
as it is necessary for you to involve a solicitor.
There are a wide variety of mortgages
available from reputable lenders and we
would urge tenants to read the conditions
carefully before signing any contract. There
are many firms of solicitors within the local
area who will be happy to provide an
estimate for their service before you need to
commit yourself.
The Right to Buy section is available on
01753 875407/875215/875357 to answer any
of your questions in relation to the scheme,
address your concerns and provide guidance
or advice as necessary. MyCouncil at
Landmark Place (library end of High Street) is
open for personal callers from Monday to
Saturday lunchtime.

Before you send your form to your landlord
Before you send this application form to your landlord, make a copy and check that you have completed the
following:
The full address of the property you want to buy (make sure you have included the area where
you live and the full postcode).
The name of your landlord e.g. Nottingham City Council.
The full names of everyone listed on your tenancy agreement/rent book (e.g. RICK SMITH
would probably be RICHARD JAMES SMITH). Make sure you tick the boxes to say whether the
property is each tenant’s only or principal property, and if they wish to buy. On joint tenancies,
not all tenants may wish to buy.
The full names of any family members who wish to share the Right to Buy with you. They must
be a family member, spouse or civil partner. They must have lived in the property as their main
home for at least the last 12 months. They must be over 18.
Details of your current and previous public sector tenancies. Make sure you have completed
dates, names of tenants, addresses and name of landlord for your tenancies, those of your
spouse/civil partner, those of your former spouse/civil partner who you have divorced or who
has died, parents who previously held the tenancy.
Details of any discount previously received under the Right to Buy or other government home
ownership schemes, for example Right to Acquire. You do not need to give details of
applications, only purchases.
Details of any improvements you have made to the property. The improvements may have
increased the value of the property. If you disclose them in your application, the value of the
improvements will not be included in the valuation of the property so you don’t pay twice.
Signatures of everyone listed on your tenancy agreement/rent book and any family members
who wish to share the Right to Buy with you. Make sure all tenants sign in the correct place.
Have YOU signed the form (Part F)?

Tear this sec tion o and use to keep a note of important dates and information as you go through the process
Please ll this in as you go along:
1. Now you have completed your application, make a copy and take or send it by recorded delivery to your landlord.
Ifyou take it in person, don’t forget to get a receipt.
Did you get a receipt? Receipt date and number:
2. Landlord conrms if you are eligible (RTB 2 form) – your landlord has up to 4 weeks from receipt of your application to reply
conrming whether you have the Right to Buy, or 8 weeks if you have been with your current landlord for less than 3years.
My landlord should conrm or deny my eligibility by:
3. Receive an oer – your landlord has to send your oer notice within a specic time from the date you receive your RTB2
conrming your eligibility. This is within 8 weeks where your home is freehold (usually houses or bungalows); or within 12
weeks where it is leasehold (usually ats or maisonettes).
Ishould receive my oer notice by:
This oer notice, which is known as a s125 notice, sets out:
t The landlord’s valuation of your property*, your discount, the price you’ll pay.
t Any structural problems the landlord knows about.
t Any terms and conditions of the purchase.
t For leasehold properties only, the s125 oer notice will also include an estimate of the service charges that you will need to
pay over the next 5 years.
* If you are not happy with your landlord’s valuation you havethe right to ask for an independent valuation by a District
Valuer.
4. Decide if you want to go ahead with your Right to Buy – you have up to 12 weeks to accept your landlord’s oer. It’s during
this time that you’ll need to arrange a mortgage or loan if you need one, get a survey and hire a solicitor. Get independent
nancial and legal advice (if you haven’t already done so) and check you understand all the costs before you sign anything. I
need to respond to my landlord’s oer by:
5. Complete the purchase – Once you’re happy with your landlord’s terms and have arranged how you will pay for your home,
carry on and complete your purchase.
It’s usually during this time that you pay your stamp duty (if applicable) and nalise and sign the paperwork.
Your solicitor will advise you and help with arrangements for these nal stages of the process.

property. In order to process this application we will require information ensuring the sale is

b) Documents to prove your identity and place of residency
c) Details of the intended future owners of the property you are applying to purchase

e) Proof, if funded by mortgage of the offer and the financial institution

the purchase.
A failure to provide any of this information is likely to delay the completion of the right to buy
