Key guarantees for council homeowners

What to expect when you’re a council homeowner as part of the estate renewal process.

Guarantee 2

If you, as a homeowner, do not wish to live in a home on the newly built estate, you will have to sell your home to the council for market value (plus home loss compensation) after an independent valuation and make your own new housing arrangements. (This Guarantee is the only option available to non-resident homeowners.)

  • The council will seek to reach agreement with you on the value of your home
  • The council is progressing an early buy-back programme, so that if you need to move early you can do so
  • If you wish to sell your home to the council and do so early in the programme of redeveloping an estate, then the council will work to your preferred timescales
