SevenRivers Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Lol, if right-to-buy is gone, the councils will still be maintaining the same housing stock in 50 years at ever increasing cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vague_Boy Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Will England follow Well.... not unless the SNP win the next general election. squeeze abit more money out of people because 'times are hard' How is this squeezing money out of people? Times were hard when the current act was introduced in 1980. Interestingly.... The Labour Party initially proposed the idea of the right of tenants to own the house they live in, in its manifesto for the 1959 General Election which it subsequently lost.

Times were hard when the current act was introduced in 1980. Interestingly.... LINK The report says: The right of council tenants to buy the homes they rent at discounted rates will be abolished in Scotland. I assume that means they can still buy them, but at market rate. or is that not right??? I wondered if our government will keep an eye on the number of sales and see if people still do purchase their council property and if it generates abit more profit because they are now buying at market rate instead of well under it.
