Open Market Acquisition Scheme and Buy Back Initiative

If your property is on the market and it meets our requirements we will contact you via your selling agent.

If you are struggling to meet your mortgage payments, visit our page on Help with housing costs.


The two ways we would consider buying a house through the open market are:

  • Open Market Acquisition Scheme 
  • Buy Back Initiative

Both are designed to help increase the amount of affordable housing in Angus. 

Our criteria for purchasing properties are listed in the committee report 150/23 - Market Acquisition & Disposal of Properties.

We will not make an offer on every property viewed.

Any offer made will be informed by the Home Report and any improvement works we may need to carry out. The seller will be responsible for their own legal fees.
