Buy a government property
If you have been a Housing ACT tenant for at least three years, you may be able to buy your government home.
An independent valuation will establish the price of the house. Any improvements you have made will be considered, and an allowance made. You will have to pay an administration fee.
You cannot buy your home if:
- It has been purchased or upgraded by the Housing ACT in the past five years
- It has been identified for redevelopment
- It is in an area of low housing ownership
- It does not have separate title (e.g. medium density housing, aged persons' units and rural dwellings may not have separate title).
