Short answer
Right to Buy delay enquiries should identify the RTB1 claim, landlord response, Section 125 offer notice, delayed step, RTB6 or RTB8 notice, rent records, valuation or tribunal papers and any deadline or purchase funding issue. Legal4U cannot decide eligibility, discount or the correct purchase price.
