Schedule APPLICATION TO PURCHASE YOUR HOME

Before filling in any part of this form please read the notes relating to that part. The notes are not a complete or authoritative statement of law. If you need further guidance, you should consult your solicitor, or ask your landlord or local citizens' advice bureau for advice.

You may find it helpful to read The Scottish Office Environment Department leaflet “Your Right to Buy Your Home”. You can get a copy from your landlord, local citizens' advice bureau or by writing to The Scottish Office Environment Department, Housing Division, Room 401, St Andrew’s House, Edinburgh EH1 3DE or telephone 031 244 2857 or 2021.

If you would like advice on any aspect of the right to buy or rent to mortgage, you should consider taking legal advice or discuss the matter with your local citizens' advice bureau, to make sure that you are fully aware of the implications and that your interests are protected. This is particularly relevant if you have been approached by an independent third party to buy your home in return for handing over ownership of the property at a later date. If you need assistance to complete this form, it is available free of charge from your landlord.

When you have completed this form, take it or send it by recorded delivery to your landlord. If you take it by hand, ask for a receipt. Keep a copy of the completed form for yourself.
