Where do I start?To qualify for a right to buy discount you need to have been a public sector tenant for a minimum of two years. The discount is deducted from the district valuers reported valuation figure, which can make a considerable saving against the true open market value of the property. The amount of your discount will depend on the number of qualifying years, type of property and may be capped at certain levels according to where you live.
