1. 1.  These Regulations may be cited as the Housing (Right to Acquire) Regulations 1997 and shall come into force on 1st April 1997.

2.—(1) Part V of the Housing Act 1985(2) (the right to buy) as it applies in relation to the right under section 16 of the Housing Act 1996 (right of tenant to acquire dwelling) has effect subject to the exceptions, adaptations and other modifications specified in Schedule I to these Regulations.

I’m asking you all to sign and support extending the year in which tenants can buy/aquire their home earlier than 1997.  Giving people an opportunity to own a home of their life time. Many tenants have paid years of rent to a home that they do not own this change will allow them to purchase the property they’ve called home for so long.
