Right to Buy

Leaving renting behind. Right to buy: Your key to homeownership

What is a Right to Buy Mortgage?

A right to buy mortgage is a financial arrangement available to council tenants or housing association tenants who have been living in a property provided by the local authority or a housing association. This scheme allows eligible tenants to purchase the property they are currently renting at a discounted price.

Here's how they work...

Eligibility: To qualify for a right to buy mortgage, you must typically have been a public housing tenant for a certain number of years (usually ranging from three to five years) and be a secure or assured tenant.

Discounted Purchase: The key feature of the right to buy scheme is that you can buy the property you’re living in at a price lower than the market value. The longer you’ve been a tenant, the greater the discount you may receive, up to a certain maximum limit.

Securing a Mortgage: Once you decide to exercise your right to buy, you’ll need to secure a right to buy mortgage to cover the cost of the discounted purchase. These mortgages are specifically designed for this purpose and may offer more favorable terms and conditions to make it more affordable for tenants to buy their rented property.

Ownership: After purchasing the property, you become the owner, and it is no longer owned by the local council or housing association. You are responsible for the property’s maintenance, mortgage repayments, and other associated costs.

Helping you become a homeowner is our priority at GoMortgage

The homeowner often uses the proceeds from the sale of their existing property to pay off or reduce the mortgage on the new one. Homemover mortgages come in various forms, including fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgages, and they offer different terms and conditions. The choice of mortgage will depend on the homeowner’s financial situation and preferences. These mortgages are commonly sought when someone is relocating, upsizing, or downsizing to a different property.

  I reached out to Chris on facebook after i stumbled on one of his reels, i wasn't expecting anything positive from Facebook as i had been previously turned down by two major Mortgage Advisers.
Natalie and Shirley took up my case and in a short while got me a high street lender despite the price of the property been raised by  20%.
They carried me along all through the process and i was never left in the dark.
I am a single parent , first time buyer and first time landlord.
They also helped me get the right Legal Advisers and Insurance.
I highly recommend their services.
Thank you Natalie and Shirley.

  We always thought buying our first house would be stressful, when we found this company through a few Facebook videos we thought we would enquire.  Rhiannon got in touch with us and she talked us through the whole process and sorted so much for us! I would not recommend anyone else she has been amazing and we can’t thank her enough.
