Right to buy your home
You will usually qualify for a discount from the full market valuation of their property if you have been a secure public sector tenant for at least three years.
How the Right to Buy scheme works
Three to five years as a secure tenant gives you a 50% discount when you buy your flat or maisonette and 35% when you buy your house.
