If you were a secure tenant before 18 January 2005 or were a secure public sector tenant before 18 January 2005 (and you have been a public sector tenant since that time) you have the right to buy your home once you have spent at least two years as a public sector tenant. In any other circumstances, you do not have the Right to Buy until you have spent at least five years as a public sector tenant. (Please note that there are some exceptions to the Right to Buy).

The application form for the right to buy is linked from the Direct Gov website Notice claiming the Right to Buy your Home plus our questionnaire which is below also needs to be downloaded and filled in called the Supplementary Right to Buy form.
