A: Local services will differ from scheme to scheme. These are extra services that Contour Homes offer such as window cleaning, communal cleaning and gardening that may not be offered on all schemes. Q: Are your properties Right to Buy or Right to Acquire properties? A: This would be dependant on the property, when it was built and what funding was used. Right to Buy: This is property transferred under a stock transfer agreement with the local authority and the housing association. If the tenant is an existing tenant at the time of the transfer then the tenant will have “preserved rights to buy.” Right to Acquire: This is stock that has been “acquired” or “built” after April 1st 1997.
