Home Ownership Right to Buy

Right to Buy allows most council tenants to buy their council home at a discount.

The rules for Right to Buy (RTB) changed on 21 November 2024. From this date the maximum discount you can get, is whatever is lower:

• 70% of the value of your property

Or

• the maximum discount for your region, which is £24,000 for tenants residing within the Oadby & Wigston Borough

The discount is based on:

• the type of property you are buying i.e., flat or house
• the value of your home
• how long you have been a tenant with a public sector landlord

Applications for the Right to Buy received before 21 November 2024, from eligible tenants will retain the past discounts.
