Social landlords can apply to Scottish Ministers for authorisation to refuse a right to buy sale under section 69 of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987, where a house:
- has facilities that are substantially different from those of an ordinary house; and
- has been designed or adapted for occupation by a person of pensionable age whose special needs require accommodation of the kind provided by the house.
Applications should be sent to the Right to Buy mailbox, rtb@scotland.gsi.gov.uk
Alternatively, hard copies can be sent to:
Right to Buy team
Housing Supply Division
58 Waterloo Street
Glasgow G2 7DA
This Guidance for social landlords provides information about what is required when making applications under section 69 (also available as a PDF document).
