View answerThe Tenant (Incremental) Purchase Scheme is open to eligible tenants, including joint tenants, of local authority houses that are available for sale under the scheme.
The Housing (Sale of Local Authority Houses) Regulations 2015 governing the scheme apply to all local authorities and provide inter alia that the sale of a property to the purchaser does not imply any warranty on the part of the housing authority in relation to the state of repair or condition of the dwelling or its fitness for human habitation. The purchaser is also solely responsible for the maintenance and repair of a house sold under the scheme.
