What is a Right to Buy in Manchester?

The Right to Buy is a Government scheme that enables eligible tenants to purchase their council property, sometimes with a discount, and sometimes even without a deposit.

 

Eligible tenants have matched the requirements of spending at least 3 years (not always continuous) renting from a local authority and are secure tenants of a council or housing association owned property.

 

Being able to fund the purchase and having a good credit score, the scheme is available to all council tenants as long as they meet the full criteria for a Right to Buy mortgage in Manchester.

 

When you are looking to purchase your property via a Right to Buy in Manchester, the property will be valued at the full market price, with the government discount applied before the purchase is made.

Common mortgage
questions

The discount provided by the council through the use of the Right-to-Buy Scheme will generally be what the lenders use as your deposit. In some cases though, lenders will require you to put down a deposit alongside the discount you’ve been given. We normally see this type of thing crop up if you’ve been struggling with credit problems. Our hard-working and knowledgeable Mortgage Advisors in Manchester are readily available to answer any Right-to-Buy deposit questions you may have.

Your free initial mortgage consultation in Manchester will last roughly 30 mins. A dedicated advisor will then recommend a mortgage for you, with no obligation to accept and go forward and proceed with the mortgage in question, if you decide that it is not for you.

As trusted Mortgage Advice professionals in Manchester, we will carry out a Fact Find to establish your personal needs before we go ahead with recommending the most suitable mortgage for your situation. From there you will be credit checked, which is a requirement to obtain an Agreement in Principle. Once you have provided all the relevant documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, you can be issued a formal mortgage offer.

We recommend you obtain an Agreement in Principle prior to property viewings in Manchester, in order to avoid potential disappointment. At the very latest we would suggest that you obtain one before you make any offers, to put you in a better bargaining position. As a dedicated Mortgage Broker in Manchester, we are typically able to obtain an agreement in principle within 24 hours.

Generally speaking, an Agreement in Principle will last for between 30 and 90 days, depending on the lender that is used. If your Agreement in Principle expires before you can make use of it, it can be easily refreshed by speaking to your advisor.

If you’re looking to achieve something like debt consolidation or home improvements, you may be able to place a second mortgage on your home. If you’re looking to use it for yourself, a family member, a holiday home or a Buy to Let, a second mortgage on that property may also be an option.

If you have struggled with credit problems in the past, you may still be eligible for a mortgage, though a lender may possibly require you to put down a higher deposit than expected. This can be something like 15% of the property purchase price.

Submitting at least one year’s accounts moves you along the process, allowing for you to potentially obtain a mortgage in Manchester. Most lenders will utilise your salary plus dividend to calculate the maximum mortgage amount you are eligible to borrow, whereas some other lenders will go off your net profit.

In order for an employee to prove their income, it’s usually 3 payslips and the last 2 years’ accounts if you are self-employed. You will also need to provide some proof of ID, address and the last 3 months’ bank statements.

The free initial mortgage consultation that we offer generally lasts up to around 30 mins. We are then able to turn around an agreement in principle within 24 hours of that appointment. A formal mortgage offer takes, on average, somewhere around three weeks.
