Right to Buy Rule Changes

Here is a summary of the main changes that were law from 17th January 2005 in England and Wales. Your council should have more details.

Extension of pre-emption period from 3 to 5 years
Under the old law, if you re-sold your home within 3 years of buying it from the council, you were required to refund (to the council) some or the entire discount that you received when you purchased it. Under the new law, the period where a refund will be payable is extended to 5 years.

Repayment of discount changes to percentage of sale price
Under the old law, if you re-sold your home within 3 years of purchase, the amount you were required to pay back as a % of the discount you received. After 17th January 2005, the amount you are required to pay back is a % of the re-sale price.

Right of first refusal on sale within 10 years
Under the new rules, the council has the option of buying the property back in preference to any other purchaser. The council has this right of first refusal, for up to 10 years.
