The Right to Buy Scheme is a government ran scheme that allows eligible tenants in England to purchase their property from the council for a partially discounted price.
If you have spent at least 3 years (not always continuous) renting from a local housing association and are secure tenants of council property, you may be eligible for a Right to Buy in Sheffield.
When purchasing a property via a Right to Buy in Sheffield, the property will be valued at the full market price with the government discount applied prior to purchase.
It’s the goal of our mortgage advisors in Sheffield to help these customers by using our knowledge and experience within the mortgage industry to provide expert Right to Buy Mortgage Advice in Sheffield.
Usually, due to a large discount being offered to the tenant, they will not require any deposit for their home purchase. This is not always the case, but we find it happens often.
The homebuyers discount is worked out depending on various factors, such as how long you’ve been a tenant within the public sector, what type of property you’re looking to buy and how much the home is actually worth.
If you have happened to use a Right to Buy in Sheffield in the past, this number can possibly be a little lower. There are also options with several mortgage companies to borrow additional funds to fund home improvements such as new windows, doors, conservatories etc if required.
The process begins with you checking you are eligible and requesting an application form from the council. Once they have received this back you will receive an offer notice which sets out the property value and your discount. You then have a set period of time to accept this offer.
We are able to help with your mortgage, solicitors and survey as and when required. As part of our initial free mortgage consultation, we can give you an idea of how much your Right to Buy mortgage in Sheffield will cost and if you qualify.
Throughout our many years of service as dedicated and hardworking Mortgage Advisors in Sheffield, we’ve come across a great many different and unique council home renters looking to purchase the property they are currently renting, from their local council or housing association.
The method of which they can achieve this is by utilising the Right to Buy Scheme, a scheme introduced by the UK Government that allows doing this to be possible. Below are some of the steps you will need to take in order to obtain a mortgage via a Right to Buy in Sheffield.
The first step you’ll need to take is getting in touch with either the council or housing association that owns your property, often referred to as the “local authority”, and see if you are actually eligible for a Right to Buy in Sheffield. They will make sure you match up against certain criteria, such as living in that same home for 5 years.
Once you have had your eligibility confirmed, the local authority will offer you a certain price to buy the property for, of which you have a given period of time to accept.
Once you have agreed to purchase the property from the local authority at the given price, the exciting part begins. Get in Touch and we’ll get started on your mortgage application process.
If you are considering purchasing the property you’re currently renting through your local authority or housing association, the first step would be to check your eligibility to qualify for a Right to Buy in Sheffield and the amount of discount that will be applied.
Once you have an accurate figure of what you can purchase the property for, you can then contact a Mortgage Advisor in Sheffield, who can check your eligibility for a mortgage. This will include gathering information on your income and expenditure to work out if a mortgage is viable and affordable.
