Right to Buy Mortgages
A Right To Buy is an offer to council tenants who have lived in their council property for more than 2 years, to purchase their property from the council.
The purchase of the property is usually offered at a discount price ranging from 32% to 70% (depending on the period lived at the address) - discounts vary from council to council.
Exercising the right to buy a council property is subject to the terms and conditions of the landlord, and these may differ from case to case, and council to council.

Council Right to Buy
If you have lived in your council house for a while then you may be able to buy the property from the council at a discount. You will need to contact them to get the exact details of:
* The open market value of your property (OMV)
* The price you will have to pay to buy the property (RTB Price)
Not all lenders will lend to you, but there are a number of lenders that will lend on their normal terms on right to buy properties. As well as this there are a number of schemes especially designed for right to buy properties where there may be other issues.

Amount You Can Borrow
Most lenders that will lend on right to buy properties will lend up to 95% or 100% of the RTB Price. Also when calculating your loan to value they will use the OMV.
This means that for example if you were buying your council house:
* Valued at OMV £100.000
* But you can buy it at RTB Price £75,000
Then they would count your purchase as being on a 75% loan to value.
There are also some lenders that will allow you to borrow more then the RTB Price.
If you cannot prove all of your income then you may need to self certify your income.
Obviously the best self employed scheme for you will depend on your exact circumstances. We can help you to find the best scheme.
