Right To Buy Rules

What is Right to buy rules?

The Right to Buy rules empower eligible council tenants in England to purchase their homes at a discount. This scheme aims to help tenants become homeowners by giving them the opportunity to buy their rented property at a reduced price.

What are the types of Right to buy rules?

There are primarily two types of Right to Buy rules that tenants can benefit from: 1. Preserved Right to Buy: This applies to tenants whose homes were transferred from their local council to a housing association. 2. Extended Right to Buy: This extends the Right to Buy scheme to include tenants of housing associations that were previously council-owned properties.

Great software Great software! Very easy to use and does just about everything you would want a PDF editor to do. The only issue I had was when replacing text the text box deleted the line the text was sitting on and I ended up with a break in the line. Other than that I highly recommend!
