Buy or acquire your existing home
Right to Buy/Acquire valuations
If you are a tenant who has resided in housing association, housing company or local authority housing for a specified period you may have the Right to Buy the home you are living in at a discounted rate.
Whether you have such an entitlement, and the amount of discount you are eligible for, depends on your type of home and the length of time you have spent as a qualifying tenant.
As of 06 April 2023, the maximum discount available to tenants exercising their right to buy or preserved right to buy (in England only) is increasing to:
- £96,000 outside of London
- £127,940 within London
It will increase each year in April in line with the consumer price index (CPI).
This change only effects new applications received from tenants on or after that date.
The maximum discount for the right to buy and preserved right to buy will be reviewed again next year.
If you have any questions, the Government's Right to Buy Agent Service is available to help housing association tenants who are interested in understanding and taking up your Right to Buy home.

If you do not qualify for Right to Buy, you could be eligible for the Right to Acquire scheme.
