    Good morning @Folly and welcome to the community.

    To help our members share their thoughts and advice with you, I've moved this post over into our housing category so that it's easier to find. 

    Once place I can recommend for professional advice on housing is AdviceLocal, so please do have a search on there if you feel it would be useful.

    Please do ask if you have any questions in the meantime.

    @Folly hi and welcome from me as well, do the terms of your tenancy prohibit any right to buy?
    Seasons greetings to one and all 🎄🎅🏻🌲

       Many years ago I lived in a housing association house and their rules were you weren't allowed to buy the property you lived in, instead they gave you money towards a property on the open market. That is the reason I got to buy my present home that I have now lived in for 30 years.  I'm sure your housing association would have to give you a reason for not allowing you the right to buy.
