Right to Buy scheme
If your home is scheduled to be demolished
If we plan to demolish your home, we may serve an initial demolition notice.
This is valid for up to five years and will suspend the landlord's obligation to complete the sale in respect of any Right to Buy application made before the notice was served.
It will also remove the need to complete any following application.
If we then serve a final demolition notice any existing Right to Buy applications are ended and no new applications can be made.
A final demolition notice is valid for 2 years, and can be extended on application to the Secretary of State.
If you have made a valid claim to exercise the Right to Buy either before an initial or final demolition notice is served, you will have three months in which to claim compensation for expenditure connected with the process, e.g. legal or survey fees.
If we then decide not to demolish the property then a revocation notice must be served to you as soon as possible.
