Buying your home

Important update - 1 November 2024

Many customers may have seen the recent news following the budget announcements from Central Government. We now understand that the Government are reducing Right to Buy discount levels with effect from 21 November 2024.

We understand the new Right to Buy discount with effect from 21 November 2024 for the North west region will be £26,000. This maximum discount depends on your tenancy and is available for new applications received after this date. The Right to Buy is only available for tenants with the Preserved Right to Buy who were tenants of Southway Housing Trust at the point of transfer from Manchester City Council in 2007.

Any current applications or new applications made before the 21 November 2024 will still qualify for the current discounts. If you have a live application now you will be treated under the current discount calculations so don’t worry and there is no need to contact us.

Should you wish to make an application please contact us in the normal way and we will send you an application form.

For more information and help on the Right to Buy you can also visit the government website: https://www.ownyourhome.gov.uk/scheme/right-to-buy/
