You must have a protected assured tenancy, you would have this if your home was originally rented with a local authority and was transferred to L&Q through a stock transfer. The right to buy the local authority home was protected, and your rights were transferred with you to L&Q. Therefore by law, we must offer you this same opportunity. Also:
L Q Housing Right To Buy
It said there were no plans to make changes to its model and they claimed that demand for shared ownership remained high. L&Q says that 807 completed homes in the past year were for social housing, with another 488 sold on the open market.
London-wide, we have the large LCC cottage estates like St Helier, and Dagenham , which could be redeveloped in this way, although the right to buy must have made such redevelopmemts much harder to achieve.
On 15 November 2019 the Council made a General Vesting Declaration (GVD). This is a formal process that gives the Council the right to take over the ownership and possession of the properties covered by the GVD. Ownership of the properties covered by the GVD vested in the Council on 1 April 2020.

London Living Rent is a type of intermediate affordable housing for middle-income Londoners who want to build up savings to buy a home. London Living Rent provides high quality rented homes on stable tenancies, with rents based on a third of local household incomes. Money you save on rent can go towards a deposit for your own home.
Where there is more than one eligible applicant, housing providers should determine priority through use of a local intermediate waiting list (if one exists), by using a priority group or groups identified by the local borough or, as a last resort, on a first-come first-served basis.
As set out in the London Plan 2021, local authorities and housing providers can choose to introduce additional prioritisation criteria, beyond the London-wide eligibility criteria outlined above, for the first three months of marketing an intermediate home. However, these eligibility and prioritisation criteria must cascade to the London-wide eligibility criteria if the home has not been let after the initial three month marketing period to ensure that homes are not left vacant.
London Living Rent is an intermediate affordable housing product, with rents based on one third of average local household incomes. London Living Rent is targeted at middle-income households working or living in London who are looking to build up savings for a deposit to purchase a home.
The GLA encourages housing providers to help as many households as possible over the lifetime of each London Living Rent home and, in order to ensure stability, does not expect tenants to be required to move for at least three years from the start of their tenancy. Housing providers delivering London Living Rent homes without direct GLA involvement are able to choose appropriate tenancy terms.
Build to Rent providers intending to retain long-term ownership of a whole block are not required to sell London Living Rent properties as shared ownership. Where the property is not grant-funded by the GLA the provider may choose to retain the properties as London Living Rent for a longer-period of time (where this is the case it should be made explicit to the prospective tenant that there is no right to shared ownership). Where the tenant does not have the right to purchase the homes in which they live on a shared ownership basis, the landlord (or group companies), if they are also building shared ownership, will be expected to provide advice and assistance in relation to other shared ownership homes, should the tenant wish to purchase one.
However at the time of going to press, Idigu told The Voice that no-one from L&Q had contacted or visited her to discuss her housing situation. She and her children remain in temporary accommodation.
He has highlighted the poor housing conditions of some tenants on social media. Most of the cases he has posted videos about so far are from the black community, with people living in homes with damp, mice infestations, and broken ceilings.
According to Tarun Bhakta policy manager at housing charity Shelter, black families are disproportionately suffering because of a broken housing system that is failing to provide safe and affordable places to live.
Prior to Quant, he was Head of Engineering Services for charitable housing association L&Q. This followed roles as Head of IT and Head of Technology & Delivery for Investec and Gumtree respectively. His earlier career includes seven years with technology, logistics and financial services giant Pitney Bowes in a variety of product development and engineering roles.
Once complete, the development will be replete with green spaces including a walking trail, plus a 200m running track and outdoor exercise equipment. L&Q at Hayes Village is also right next to Grand Union Canal, with new public walkways set to improve access to the waterway.
These development opportunities deliver new housing, but also generate significant value for our partners, whether they are a local authority, a housing association or other public sector organisation, which can be reinvested into other projects.

As a charitable organisation, our role goes beyond providing homes and housing services. We are a long-term partner in the neighbourhoods where we work. We hope to build aspiration, opportunity and confidence in our communities through our Â250 million L&Q Foundation and our skills academy.
In response to the housing and affordability crisis, we will build 100,000 new homes over ten years. Of these, 60,000 homes will be built or funded by L&Q, whilst a further 40,000 will come through partnerships. Crucially, at least 50% of these new homes will be genuinely affordable, with a target of 60% in London.
Notting Hill Sales, an offshoot of the housing association, is also offering a Â3,000 incentive, made up of John Lewis vouchers and a legal fees contribution, at Brackenbury Square in Hammersmith and Riverside at Kew Bridge Road. Call 020 3797 3469.
L&Q, another big housing association developer that sells private homes, has unveiled stamp duty deals across its London projects, including St Agnes Place in Kennington, Harvard Gardens in Walworth, Quebec Quarter in Rotherhithe and The Schoolyard in Wandsworth. Prices from Â688,000. Call 0333 003 03710.
And there may be worse to come. Forecasting conducted by the consultancy firm Oxford Economics for the National Housing Federation (NHF), the body representing English housing associations, shows future single FTBs may be in their forties on average.
But there is help available, if you know where to look. Rayneesh Atwal, 26, a secondary-school teacher from north London, has just bought a two-bedroom apartment valued at Â200,000 through a shared-ownership scheme run by L&Q housing association.
She registered on housingoptions.co.uk, a "gateway" website for those considering a shared-ownership home in Greater London (similar sites exist for other regions of the UK), and after a year, she heard she had first choice on a new scheme in Slough. She bought 30 per cent of the property for Â70,000 and pays a mortgage on that share; for the remaining 70 per cent she pays Â297 rent each month to L&Q.
This is a scheme open to those with annual household incomes under Â60,000 living in high-cost housing areas. Those renting council or housing association properties are eligible, as are key workers, but this varies area to area, so check locally.
For example, if you purchase 50 per cent of a flat costing Â100,000, your monthly mortgage payments at, say, 6 per cent interest over 25 years on your Â50,000 loan would be about Â322. Your rent on the remaining 50 per cent would probably be about Â125, adding up to Â447 in total per month. This may be slightly more costly than renting outright but it does give you a foot on the property ladder without the deposit or mortgage payments required of an outright purchase.
Some predict this "right" will be abolished soon in England and Wales (as it has been in Scotland), but for now, anyway, many council and housing association tenants renting for at least five years are entitled to purchase the home they currently rent.
First, the property gets a discount of Â9,000 to Â16,000 on its market value. Then you are eligible to purchase a 25 per cent or larger share of it and pay rent to your council or housing association on the remaining proportion.
Affordable housing is housing which is considered and deemed affordable to those with a median household income as rated by the national government or a local government by a recognised housing affordability index.
In a bid to tackle the housing crisis and to assist first time buyers in their home purchase, the Government has taken various steps to support the Construction Industry in building more affordable and better quality homes.
