Buying your home

Think before you buy!

When you are looking at the difference between renting and buying, don't just check the weekly payments.

Remember your rent includes things like buildings insurance and a free repairs service. If you buy your home you would have to pay for these things yourself.

If you are thinking of buying, beware of 'Right to Buy' sales people who may try to get you to sign deals on the doorstep. Get independent financial advice from a bank or building society. Manchester City Council's 'Right to Buy' team will give you free advice. If you're interested in buying they'll send you an information pack and an application form. Contact Manchester City Council's Right to Buy team online here. Or phone, or call in between 10am and 4pm any weekday except Wednesday:
Right to Buy, 6th Floor Heron House, Brazennose Street, MANCHESTER Phone 0161 234 5307
