It is important that you read the notes below carefully before you complete this form

This is the correct form to use if you want to ask the Tribunal for a determination as to whether the exception from the ‘right to buy’ for occupation by elderly persons applies to your home. In order for the Tribunal to be able to make such a determination, this application must be received within 56 days of the date of service on you of your landlord’s notice (under section 124 Housing Act 1985).

A fee is payable for this application (see section 8 for Help with Fees).

Applications should be sent as a Microsoft Word document by email to the relevant regional tribunal address shown in the Annex to this form. You must also send by email a copy of the landlord’s notice to the appropriate regional Tribunal office. If you cannot access email or find someone to assist you in lodging your application by email, then a paper application will be acceptable although there may be a delay in dealing with this. Sending an application on paper will not be suitable in urgent cases.

You can now pay the the fee (if applicable) by an on-line banking payment or by cheque/postal order enclosed with the application form.
