Right to Buy Update November 2024
Following the government’s review of Right to Buy discounts, from 21 November 2024, the maximum cash discounts will be reduced. The maximum cash discount is currently £102,400 across England, except in London boroughs, and this will be reduced to between £16,000 - £38,000 depending on the location. Bury is in the North West region and so the maximum discount for applications for the Right to Buy received by Bury Council after 21 November 2024 from eligible tenants will be £26,000.
