What is Right to Buy in Sheffield?

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.

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.

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.
