How to apply
We no longer provide or accept paper RTB1 application forms, it's quick and easy to apply online and submit your Right to Buy application.
The secure tenant (and any additional family members that qualify as a family member) must register for the right to buy which can be done online.
If you are interested in making a Right to Buy application, you will need to login into your Lambeth Tenant Account.

If you need support with the online application, we can help you complete this in person at the Civic Centre.

Once the application is received the sales team will contact you within 5 working days to advise you of your allocated caseworker and request further documentation.
