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.

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.
