Both schemes were designed by the Government to allow social housing customers to buy the home they currently rent, at a discount.
The schemes operate in very similar ways – the main difference is the amount of discount you receive. These levels are determined by the Government.
The Right to Buy scheme was set up to help people buy their council homes. It also extends to customers of social landlords who obtained their secured tenancies before the date council homes were transferred to new landlords. This date depends on which organisation was your landlord before.
The Right to Acquire scheme means more recent customers of social landlords aren’t ruled out from the possibility of buying their homes. Discounts for the North East of England are set at £9,000 (for further information see Right to Acquire discounts by location – GOV.UK). At Keelman Homes, all applications are Right to Acquire.
If you are interested in a Rights to Acquire application, please email enquires@keelmanhomes.org.
We are proud to work in partnership with Karbon Homes and Homes England.
