There are a number of benefits to owning your own home, including the ability to make improvements and the security of knowing that you won’t be evicted. The Right To Buy scheme has helped many people to achieve their dream of homeownership.

One of the significant advantages of the Right to Buy Scheme is that there is often existing equity in the house because you are utilising an applied discount.

As previously stated, how much equity will also depend on various factors. These include how much your discount is and how much the property you are looking to buy is worth. Remortgaging for home improvements, such as an extension, new windows or conservatory, may also be doable with some of the mortgage lenders we have on our panel.
