A tenant's guide- The Right to Buy

You may have a Right to Buy your home from Wiltshire Council if all the following apply to you: -

1. You live in a council house or flat and have entered into a Secure Tenancy Agreement with the council. However if you live in a council house or flat and the council has granted you an Introductory Tenancy or you live in your house or flat as a Demoted Tenant, you do not have a right to buy your home. An Introductory Tenancy lasts for 12 months and if during that 12 month period you do not break any of the tenancy conditions you will become a secure tenant and will then have a right to buy your home when you have been a tenant for the qualifying period

AND

2. You live in a council house or flat and you are not housed in the property because you are employed by Wiltshire Council OR it is NOT a home especially adapted for disabled or elderly tenants (see exceptions to the Right to Buy in section 4 below).

AND

3. You live in the council house or flat as a secure tenant and the council house or flat is your ONLY or PRINCIPAL home. So if you own another house or flat you do not have the right to buy your council house or flat

AND

4. If you have been a tenant for a period of THREE complete years you have a right to buy your home.
