Housing - How long do I have to keep my Housing Association House after I buy it before I can sell?

You can sell the home straight away but if you do this within one year of buying it, you will have to pay back all of the discount that you got when you bought the home. If you sell the home within two years of buying it, you have to pay back two-thirds of the discount. If you sell the home within three years, you have to pay back one-third of the discount. You need to hold on to the home for a full three years before you can sell it without having to pay money back to the Housing Association.
