Tamworth’s MP Supports the Right to Buy Scheme

Christopher Pincher MP said this week that he supports the Government’s Right to Buy Scheme and is encouraging council tenants to take advantage.

The right to buy scheme encourages those who are council tenants to buy their properties at a reduced cost.  The scheme was launched April last year and offered its tenants up to £75,000 discount.

Chris Pincher said, “The right to buy scheme is a fantastic initiative pushed forward by this Government and I strongly encourage residents to speak to Tamworth Borough Council to find out more about the right to buy and if they qualify.

“It is great news that the number of people buying their own council home has doubled since 2010.  This is real evidence that the Conservatives are helping people who work hard or save hard and want to get on.  We want everyone to have an equal chance to own their own home.”

Tamworth Borough Council have written to every council tenant in Tamworth encouraging them to take up the offer, so far 18 Tamworth residents have purchased their council homes.
