Money spent on your home

The 'cost floor' is the total money spent by the council on a property within the last 15 years. This will increase to 30 years for homes subject to Right to Buy, to protect investment. 

A property sold under the Right to Buy cannot be sold less than the cost floor. For example, if the council spent £315,000 on a property, it cannot be sold for less than that amount.
