Further information

Other booklets you may need

There are two other free booklets that may help you.

Before you apply to buy a flat it is strongly recommended that you read our booklets Residential Long leaseholders – A guide to your rights and responsibilities   and Thinking of buying a council flat? 

If you have already bought a flat and are disputing the service charges, Chapter 1 of Residential Long Leaseholds – A summary of your rights and responsibilities may help.
