Benefits Of Buying Your Council Or Housing Association Home:
The government recently pledged to extend the possibility of purchasing your social housing to even more people than ever before by essentially expanding the current right to buy scheme to include those people currently renting off a housing association. As of October 2015 the government settled on an agreement that this would apply to all housing associations on a voluntary basis. If your housing association does not agree to sell you your current property they are required to work with you and find another suitable property and you will still benefit from the same discount. This means that more and more people will be able to realise there dream of home ownership, benefiting from the larger discounts that the current right to buy scheme offers instead of the previous rules that normally faced housing association tenants with the right to acquire. The new rules mean that if you are housing association tenant wanting to benefit from a right to buy discount you should be able to do this from 2016.
