Buying Your Home
As a fully mutual housing co-operative Tenants First Housing Co-operative is exempt from the statutory legislation regarding a members right to purchase their own home. Therefore, only members who were granted a Contractual Right to Purchase when they transferred from Scottish Homes as part of the Voluntary Stock Transfer process have the right to buy their home.
The following were originally given a Contractual Right to Buy agreement with the Co-operative:
- Former tenants of Scottish Homes who transferred to the Co-operative under the Tenants Choice Transfer provisions contained in the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988.
The following retain their Right to Buy agreement:
- Members who remain resident in the property they were living in at the time of the Tenants Choice transfer.
- Members who transferred at the time of the Tenants Choice Transfer but have subsequently transferred to another Co-operative property prior to 3rd December 2001 but who meet the qualifying criteria.
