The Right to Buy scheme helps eligible council and housing association tenants in England buy their homes and gives tenants a discount on the open market.
Under a Right to Buy usually the garden as defined in your tenancy agreement will be included in the sale. However, with Leasehold purchases remote gardens will not be included and will remain in the ownership of the Council, although if being used you will be able to continue to do so, provided these are kept in a well maintained condition.
On sales where gardens are included you should check the plans provided carefully to ensure that the area has been correctly identified, any errors should be raised immediately.
Any fences that are to be included within the sale will be identified by a âTâ mark. Fences should not be allowed to fall into disrepair and as occasion may require these should be repaired/renewed along the boundaries.
