Thinking about buying your home?

How do I apply for the Right to Buy (RTB)?
You need to complete the RTB1 form, an insolvency declaration form and supply the correct supporting documentation. The details of how to complete the forms and what supporting documentation is required are detailed within the FHDC RTB guide.

Are there any other options to the RTB?
