Buy Your House Under The Right to Buy Scheme in Scunthorpe

If you are currently named on the lease on a property owned by the local authority (council or housing association), you may be entitled to the right to buy mortgage in Scunthorpe at a discounted price. Usually, due to the purchase price being discounted, no deposit will be required (though this is not a guaranteed benefit).

What is a Right to Buy in Scunthorpe?

The right to buy scheme is a government-run scheme that allows eligible tenants in Scunthorpe and throughout England to buy the property they are currently renting from the board for a partially discounted price.

 

If you have spent at least 3 years (not always continuous) renting from a local authority and are secure tenants of a council or housing association-owned property, you may find yourself qualifying for the government right to buy scheme in Scunthorpe.

 

When purchasing a property via right to buy mortgage in Scunthorpe, the property will be valued at the full market price with the government discount applied before the purchase is made.

How is the discount worked out?

The percentage of the property price that will be used as a discount would entirely depend on varying factors, such as where your currently living, the property you are looking to buy, as well as the length of time you’ve been a tenant under the council or housing association.

 

One of the key advantages of the right to buy scheme is that because you are utilising an applied discount, there is often existing equity in the house already. The amount of equity, such as the discount, will also depend on various factors, like the value of your discount and the value of the property you want to buy.

We will be here at every stage of the mortgage process, starting with your first enquiry, all the way to your completion.

How The Right to Buy Mortgage Process Works

Having been an open & honest mortgage broker in Scunthorpe for over 20 years, we have worked with lots of customers looking to utilise the right to buy scheme to get onto the property ladder. There are a few different cases here, this may be possible, but first, you need to confirm your eligibility. Here is how this can be done:

  • First of all, you will need to get in touch with your local council and fill out an application form.
  • Next is a small wait for them to check whether or not you are eligible for the scheme.
  • Once your eligibility has been confirmed, you will then receive a purchase price.
  • Following on from there, you will have a set period of time to accept their offer.
  • Last of all, once you have agreed on their price, we can get started with your mortgage application.

Something we recommend before doing this is sitting down to work out your monthly outs. This can be very useful in the process of buying your home from the local authority, whether a housing association or the board.

 

We think it’s best if you find out what you have now as a tenant, and then compare it to what it would be like if you were a homeowner. We are happy to provide some help and advice when it comes to this, so you are aware further down the line.

Common mortgage
questions

The discount provided to you by the council will typically be used by lenders as your deposit towards the property. In some cases though, lenders will require you to put down a deposit as well as the discount, especially if you’ve got a poor recent credit history. Our experienced team of mortgage advisors in Scunthorpe are able to answer your right to buy deposit queries.

Your free mortgage consultation in Scunthorpe with a dedicated advisor will last for approximately 30 mins. From that point, we will then recommend a mortgage for you, with no obligation to accept and proceed if you change your mind at any point.

We will carry out a Fact Find to establish your individual circumstances and needs prior to recommending the most suitable mortgage. A credit check is something that will be required for an Agreement in Principle. Once you have given all the relevant documentation and a valuation of the property has been undertaken, a formal mortgage offer can then be issued to you.

To avoid facing disappointment at a later stage, we recommend you obtain an Agreement in Principle before you begin any property viewings in Scunthorpe. At the very latest you should obtain one before you start making offers, as that will assist your bargaining position.

An Agreement in Principle will generally last for anywhere between 30 and 90 days depending on the mortgage lender. If your Agreement in Principle expires, your mortgage advisor in Scunthorpe can refresh this for you.

It may be possible to get a second mortgage on your home if you’re looking to work towards debt consolidation or any home improvements, as well as if you’re wanting to use it for yourself, a family member, a holiday home or a potential Buy to Let.

If you have a recent history of credit problems, it’s not impossible for you to get a mortgage, though you may possibly be required to put down a slightly higher deposit than typically expected, perhaps 15% of the property purchase price.

The documents you will need if you are an employee are three payslips to prove income and for self employed, you will need the latest 2 years’. As well as this, you will also need proof of ID, address and 3 months’ bank statements.

A free consultation usually lasts up to 30 mins or so. An agreement in principle can be ready for you within 24 hours. It takes on average three weeks for a formal mortgage offer.

You will be eligible for a mortgage but only once you have submitted at least one year’s accounts. Many Lenders calculate the maximum mortgage by taking your salary plus dividend, however, others are known to go off your net profit.
