    Ring up your council and ask them what the procedure is.

    It's your local housing association you deal with. Ring them.

    Hi you can send them an email for an application pack through your local council website which they will send out to you, you then complete this and send it back they will send you a letter confirming receipt of this you need to wait for them to confirm you can buy it and they will send someone out to value the house but you will still have to get your own valuation for mortgage purposes. You have to instruct a solicitor and get your mortgage sorted as normal and everything goes from them to your solicitor as it normally would from there on. (this is how it worked when I purchased my property) Hope this helps
