Why you might like to buy

Your home could be a valuable asset for you and your family and an investment for the future. Home ownership could give you more freedom to make the changes you want to your home. This could be your first step on the property ladder.

The UK Government set the rules about whether or not you can buy your rented home.

To learn more about buying your home visit the Government's Right to Buy Agent Service website, where you can get advice about eligibility and updates on changes that might affect you. Alternatively, you can contact one of their agents.
