Right to Buy

If you are a tenant of a housing association, you may have the ‘right to buy’ your home. If the housing association is registered as a charity, tenants will generally not be eligible to buy their house. However, if the housing association is not registered as a charity tenants may have the right to buy their house.

There are some restrictions on this general rule, and if you would like to find out whether you have the ‘right to buy’ your home you should speak to your housing association directly.

There are other ways of finding affordable, low cost home ownership in Argyll. Please click here to find out more.

If you would like advice about your housing options, a good starting point might be the independent Housing Information and Advice Service. This service is independent and can provide you with more detailed information on the housing options available to you.
