This Government is committed to the Right to Buy, which has helped nearly two million council tenants to realise their dream of home ownership.

The Prime Minister announced on 9 June 2022 the intention to extend the Right to Buy to housing association tenants, and that homes sold under an extended Right to Buy scheme will be replaced on a one-for-one basis.

We will be working closely with the housing association sector as we develop the scheme and will announce more details in due course.
