• tenants who agree to sell their home to a third party during the discount
repayment period must repay some or all of their discount as if they had
actually sold their home at the time of the agreement (see pages 5 and 10);
The discount period is currently 5 years,
• owners who wish to resell their home within 10 years of it having been sold
under the Right to Buy must first offer it at market value to their former
landlord or to another body prescribed by the Secretary of State (see page 11);I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0 -
Does this vary by council area? I always thought the period was 3 years ...?0
