The BCP Homes Right to Buy Policy explains how eligible secure tenants can buy their council home at a discount under the Housing Act 1985. It outlines who can apply, the eligibility criteria, and the checks carried out to confirm eligibility and prevent fraud. Some tenants, including those living in sheltered housing and those with introductory or non-secure tenancies, are not eligible.
The policy also sets out the stages of the application process, including property valuations, discounts, legal timescales and responsibilities. It explains what repairs will be carried out during an active Right to Buy application and how information and support will be made accessible to eligible tenants.
