Your Right to Buy
There are two different Right to Buy Schemes applicable to Association tenants. Some tenants have the Preserved Right to Buy, while others tenants have the Modernised Right to Buy which was introduced by the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001.
If you have the Preserved Right to Buy you can apply to buy your home at any time. If you have the Modernised Right to Buy you cannot apply to buy your home until at least 30th September 2012. This is because the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 limits the introduction of the Modernised Right to Buy for Dalmuir Park Housing Association for at least 10 years after its introduction. The Modernised Right to Buy was introduced on 30th September 2002.
This is a complex issue and the above information is intended as a guideline only.
If you do wish to buy your home and you have the Right to Buy then please contact the Finance and Admin Team for an application form and a copy of the booklet Your Right to Buy Your Home.
The staff in the Finance and Admin Team will be able to assist you in filling in the form and answering any queries you may have.
