Right to buy

I live in a shared ownership property (buying 25%) and I've been there for coming up to 16 years.
I'm interested in right to buy, but I don't know if the housing association will do this.
I have found a form on here to fill in and send off, is that the best thing to do? or should I ask the HA if right to buy is an option first?

Ask them first to save yourself wasting time filling in the form? We can't see your shared ownership contract from here...No free lunch, and no free laptop

If you already own 25% of your home you are a shared owner, do you mean you want to buy more shares in your home, or staircase to 100%?
That's not Right To Buy. Speak to the Home ownership team at the housing association.0
