In 1993 I was 19 years old. I was offered a flat, which I took with Birmingham City Council. This flat turned out to be a war zone, with drug dealers and teenagers running feral. At 21 I was offered a managed move to a Housing Association, ("HA"). The HA failed to transfer my Secure Tenancy over with me. I signed an Assured tenancy, I was 21, young not knowing what an impact this would latter have.
In 1995 I moved into my HA property. My HA was absorbed by another HA in 2016. Please see attached document marked. 'Exhibit 1' for details. In 2018, we underwent another amalgamation, where several HA's amalgamated forming a new HA, which is what I am under now. Please see attached document marked. 'Exhibit 2' for details.
My current HA are refusing to sell me my home of 26 plus years, stating that they purchased the property on the day I moved in, (Dec 1995), prior to April 1997, therefore I do not have the Right to Acquire. This is strange as the original HA purchased the property in 1993. It appears the current HA has destroyed all the old HA's documents including our origional Tenancy Agreement.
I asked about these amalgamations, would they give me the Right to Acquire, where I was informed the Right to Acquire team have been instructed no to discus masters with me., That makes me suspicious.
My Question:
1. Do these amalgamations mean that I do have the right to Acquire my property? The current HA did not legally exist prior to 2018. So how could they purchase a property in 1997? or
3. Are these amalgamations designed in such a away to protect the HA and its stock?
I appreciate any assistance you maybe able to offer.
Kind regards
