About this service
Tenants of Salisbury District Council have the right to purchase their home with a discount after:

- 5 years if your tenancy started after 18/01/2005.

There are several exceptions to the Right to Buy, such as if your home is part of a sheltered housing scheme for the elderly. Please contact the council for further details of properties that are exempt.
