What Is the Right to Buy Scheme?
The Right to Buy scheme, introduced in 1980, allows council and housing association tenants in England to buy their homes at a large discount sometimes up to 70% off the market value. While it’s a great way to get on the property ladder, selling your council house after purchase does come with conditions.
Can You Sell Your Council House?
Yes. Once you own the property, you’re allowed to sell it. However, if you sell within the first five years, you’ll need to repay part of your discount. The amount depends on how much profit you make. After five years, you can sell without repaying anything.
The Challenge: Selling a Council House
Many council homes are located in low-demand areas or are built with non-standard construction making them harder to sell through traditional estate agents. Mortgage lenders often won’t finance these properties, which limits your pool of buyers and can delay your sale for months, or even years.
