Buying your council home

Improving Your Home

Under the Right to Buy scheme you may be able to buy your home from Dudley Council.  The length of time that you have spent as a tenant also entitles you to a discount on the price that you buy the property from us at.  Here is some information that will help to explain the Right to Buy scheme and the costs associated with home ownership.

Do I have the right to buy

There is an initial qualification period that you must meet before you can apply to buy your home.  You must have held a tenancy with us, another local authority (or a public sector body) for at least two years before you can apply to buy.  If your secure tenancy started after 18th January 2005 you do not have the Right to Buy until you have spent at least five years as a public sector tenant.

Who can I contact to find out more about the Right to Buy?

Please refer to our Right to Buy leaflet below email Dudley Council Plus or contact us on 0300 555 2345 to find out further details or you can download a Right to Buy Application Form.

Further information is also available in 'Your Right to Buy Your Home' booklet issued by the Government. See link below:
