How Right to Buy works
If you want to exercise your Right To Buy, the first thing you need to do is ask your landlord for a Right To Buy Application form (RTB1). You also need to look at the costs, so you have an idea of what you can afford – one of our advisors can help you.
Your landlord will use the RTB1 form to assess whether you are eligible for the scheme and what percentage discount you are entitled too. They will send you a RTB2 form informing you of their decision; if they decide you do not qualify they must explain why.
If you are accepted your landlord will send you a Section 125 notice within 8 weeks for a house or 12 weeks for a leasehold property. This sets out the property valuation, the discount you are entitled too and estimated maintenance costs for the first 5 years of ownership.
You have up to 12 weeks to accept your landlords offer. Now is the time to firm up on your mortgage offer (speak to your Clever Mortgage’s advisor), select a solicitor and arrange for a survey
Complete your purchase! Once you are happy with your landlords terms and have arranged the money you are all set.

Understanding credit scores when you’ve been declined a mortgage
All lenders look at information on your credit report such as:
- Whether you’ve made late payments for bills and loans
- Any details of debt management plans you have taken out
- Other details, such as any financial connections with others you’ve had – for instance partners you’ve held joint accounts with
How long is information stored for on your credit file?
Six years is the amount of time a loan you take out will stay on your file, as will CCJs (County Court Judgments), bankruptcy, IVAs (Individual Voluntary Arrangements), and an administration order. Searches and some applications will only remain on your file for a year, but debt collection searches will stay on for two years. Addresses and associations with others can stay on your file indefinitely.
Credit scores are important – but whatever your situation, we might be able to help – just get in touch and let’s see how we could help.
