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.
If you purchase your home under the Right to Buy scheme and you wish to resell or dispose of it within 10 years, you will first have to offer it for sale to either your former landlord or to another social landlord in your area at full market value.
The market value must be agreed between the parties or, if they are unable to agree, will be determined by the District Valuer (the government will pay the costs of employing a District Valuer).
If your offer has not been accepted within 8 weeks, you will be free to sell the property on the open market.
