Due to the latest guidance on COVID-19 (Coronavirus) the Housing Executive has suspended all house sales.
You can read more information at:
If you’ve been a tenant of the Housing Executive, or one of the other eligible social landlords, for five years you can apply to buy your home. You can buy all or part of your home.
Tenants with less than five years' tenancy
You may still be able to buy your home even if you haven’t lived there for five years. This may apply, for example, where you have taken over the tenancy after the death of a family member. This is called a “succession”. The tenancy may have been transferred to you by someone else, such as a husband, wife or civil partner. This is known as tenancy “assignment”.
You can find more details about buying your home in this booklet:
How to apply
You can get an application to buy your home by downloading a House sales application form.
You must fully complete the application form, and you must include copies of the identification that we ask for in the form.
If you fail to complete the application or fail to provide all of the documentation that we ask for, then we will send your application back to you.
