Right to Buy

Right to Buy is a government scheme offering most council tenants and former council tenants, who are now housing association tenants, the chance to buy their home at a discount.

If you used to be a council tenant and the council sold or transferred your home to Southern Housing Group, you may be eligible for the existing Right to Buy scheme.*

If you would like to apply please contact our Service Centre 

A copy of an application form, and more information, can be found here

Right to Buy for housing assocation tenants

Southern Housing Group signed up to a voluntary agreement which will extend the Right to Buy offer to our residents whose homes qualify.

Government policy on this is not settled yet but there are pilot schemes in progress. Whilst we await the outcome of the government pilot schemes, we are taking our own steps to develop a policy to help us determine which homes would be available and how this would work.

If you are a Southern Housing Group resident, you can register your interest.

We will provide more information on how you can apply to purchase your home through the extended Right to Buy as the Government's policy becomes clearer. 

 *From 11 May 2017 we no longer offer the Social Homebuy product. You may still enquire about other options for buying your home.
