Sell your property back to the council

Find out about selling your ex-council home back to the council and the benefits of selling to us.

We buy homes that were sold under the Right to Buy scheme to increase the amount of council housing in Islington.

Why sell to us

If you sell to us you can benefit from:

  • no chain (you do not have to wait for a buyer to sell first) and a quick sale
  • no estate agent fees
  • more security than selling on the open market
  • your sale helps provide homes for local people.

What we are looking for

We are looking for homes that:

  • have 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms
  • are empty (no one living there and no belongings left inside)
  • include the freehold, or where the council already owns the freehold

We decide whether to buy a property based on local housing needs and price. Homes with higher prices may not be suitable.

You must pay any service charges and any outstanding and proposed major works that you have been told about before the sale is completed.

Contact us

To tell us you want to sell your home or ask questions or find out more, email us.
