Right to Buy allows most council tenants to buy their council home at a discount.
The rules for Right to Buy (RTB) are changing on 21 November 2024. From this date the maximum discount you can get, is whichever is lower:
• 70% of the value of your property
or
• the maximum discount for your region, which is £26,000 for tenants residing within the Cannock Chase Council district.
The discount is based on:
• the type of property you’re buying - a flat or house
• the value of your home
• how long you’ve been a tenant with a public sector landlord
Applications for the Right to Buy received before 21 November 2024, from eligible tenants will retain the current discounts.
