A Hammersmith couple have become the first people in the UK to sign up for a £75,000 Right to Buy extended discount.
The Government has recently increased the maximum discount that council tenants can receive if they wish to buy their own home from £16,000 to £75,000.
Tarek Tuzani and his partner Laura Stevens handed in their application forms at 9am this morning and will receive the huge cash discount on their flat in Standish House, St Peter’s Grove.
They plan to use the cash they saved, via the huge discount, to renovate their home and create a brand new bedroom for their baby daughter, Sophia.
The couple are the first of hundreds of people in Hammersmith & Fulham who could be in line to receive the new bumper reduction. And, to ensure that as many tenants as possible are taking advantage of the massive discount, the council will be holding special H&F Right to Buy road-shows during April and May.
