Welcome to your brand new Council website. This is a beta version, not yet live to residents. We'd love to know what you think.
Buying your council home
If you're a secure council tenant you may have the right to buy your home. Find out what conditions you need to meet and what the Right to Buy process involves.
Landlords’ Right of first refusal
For the first 10 years after your purchase your landlord has the right of first refusal if you wish to sell the property on the open market.
This means that you must first offer the property back to your landlord before you are permitted to sell to a third party. Your landlord also has the Right to appeal to the District Valuer if he feels that the offer price is too high. The District Valuers decision in such matters is final.
