The Tenant (Incremental) Purchase Scheme is open to eligible tenants, including joint tenants, of local authority homes available for sale under the scheme.

Local authorities may, within the provisions of the Housing (Sale of Local Authority Houses) Regulations 2015, exclude certain houses which the authority considers should not be sold for reasons such as proper stock or estate management. This may be the case, for example, where the need for a particular property type, such as one-bed houses, outweighs supply. It is a matter for each individual housing authority to administer the scheme in line with the governing legislation and in a manner appropriate to its housing requirements.
