The Right to Buy Scheme allows tenants in England to purchase their council property partially discounted if they fit the criteria to be eligible for the scheme.
To be eligible for a Right to Buy in Birmingham in the first place, you need to have spent at least 3 years renting from the local council or housing association and are secure tenants of council property.
These years do not have to be consecutive, though this will vary depending on your situation. By speaking to a mortgage advice in Birmingham, they can help check if you are eligible for the scheme. Alternately, to keep yourself updated with the rules and regulations, you can also check out the government Own Your Home website.
In the right to buy sale, the property will be valued at full market price and then a government discount applied before purchase.
First, you need to know if you are eligible for the scheme and request an application form from the council. Next, you will get an offer notice which shows you the property value and your discount. You then have a set period to accept this offer.
The discounted price can be influenced by the property’s market value, the length of time you’ve been a public sector tenant, the location you are in and the type of property you are buying.
The specific calculations can vary, so it’s always worth checking with someone to know the specifics of what you may be entitled to.
As part of your initial free initial mortgage appointment, your Mortgage Advisor in Birmingham will be able to help you work out your mortgage costs and match you up to the appropriate deals.
To determine the amount you can borrow for a Right to Buy mortgage in Birmingham, your income, expenditure, and overall affordability will be assessed.

Matt has been brilliant, hes explained and walked me through everything making it as easy and as straight forward as possible. Matt has been at the end of the phone, every time I've had questions or just needed some reassurance, I would recommend moneymanuk to anyone who is looking for an independent mortgage adviser xx

Had a great experience with Money Man UK, who kept us informed and updated throughout every stage of the process. They were always transparent and never apposed to exploring all of our options and gave us time to consider them thoroughly. Would highly recommend and very glad we were recommended their services.

I had a fantastic experience working with Chris as my mortgage advisor. He was incredibly patient, always took the time to explain things clearly, and gave thoughtful advice whenever I needed it. Stacey handled all my paperwork efficiently and kept me updated throughout the process. Thanks to their combined efforts, I received my mortgage offer in less than 7 days! I am really grateful for their support and highly recommend their services.

A very satisfied customer. Charlie Bryson was my mortgage advisor, and I found him to be an incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable person. He offered me detailed and in depth advise and recommended a very good deal. My case was then referred to Meghan Robinson, who took care of my application with the lender. Similar to Charlie, she took time to listen to my queries and updated me of the progress of the application. It took roughly 2 weeks for me to get a mortgage offer from the lender. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a mortgage/remortgage.
