Do I need to save for a deposit?
In some cases you do NOT need to save for a deposit. Many mortgage lenders will use your discount as your deposit, this means you do not need to save for a deposit. However this does depend on the value of your home, and for higher value homes, you may need to put some cash in to meet the minimum deposit

Applying for Right to Buy
To start the process of buying your rental property you need to complete the RTB1 form, you can find a link to this form at the bottom of this page. Once this is completed and submitted, your landlord will contact you to confirm you have the right to buy.
Your landlord will carry out a valuation of your home to confirm its value. They will then calculate the discount you qualify for. The discounted purchase price is the price you pay. Your landlord will provide you with an S125 form, which will confirm all the above.
