Overview

If you want to buy your Housing Executive home, this section will give you the information you need.

If you have been a tenant of the Housing Executive or another eligible landlord for at least five years you can apply to buy your home. You can buy all or part of your home.

Tenants with less than five year’s 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. We call this a “succession”.

Someone - like a husband, wife or civil partner - may have transferred the tenancy to you. We call this a tenancy “assignment”.

You can find more details about buying your home in this booklet:
