COUNCIL RIGHT TO BUY: Your Right to Buy your home

Right to Buy: Delays or problems with the sale

Most sales go through quickly, but sometimes there are problems or delays. If your landlord does not send you Form RTB 2 (the notice telling you if you have the Right to Buy) or the Section 125 notice (offer notice) within the times mentioned in the step by step guide, or is otherwise delaying the sale, you may be allowed a reduction in the purchase price. To get this reduction, you first need to fill in an initial notice of delay (Form RTB 6) and send it to your landlord. You must give your landlord at least one month to take the next step in the sale process. Your landlord may send you a counter notice if he has already served you with a Response Notice or a Section 125 Notice, or if there is no action that can be taken by him to speed up the sale.

If your landlord does not send you a counter notice within the time allowed, you can send the landlord an operative notice of delay (Form RTB 8). The rent you pay while the delay goes on will then be taken off the price you have to pay for your home. If the landlord delays the sale again, you can repeat this procedure.

You can get the forms mentioned above from your landlord, or from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister or the Welsh Assembly Government. If you are a tenant of a housing association or another registered social landlord, you can also get them from the Housing Corporation. The addresses are later in this booklet.

If there are any other problems with the sale and you cannot settle them with your landlord, you can get advice about your rights at a Citizens Advice Bureau or from a solicitor. You can also get advice from the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (if you live in England) or the Welsh Assembly Government (if you live in Wales).
