poppet2 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Now this really will get the housing market moving. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/extend-right-to-buy-to-the-tenants-of-private-landlords-labours-jeremy-corbyn-says-10342824.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Excellent idea! We are, after all, a property owning democracy, as Camerloon reminded us when he spoke of extending RTB to housing association tenants. This move would give even more first-time buyers and long-term renters the security and stability of owning their own home. This has my full support.

carosio Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Bear in mind that if the house was mortgaged then this would have to be paid off upon sale. Edited July 8, 2015 by carosio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesther Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 When will the Labour left ever learn? They would do very well to take a leaf out of Cameron and Osborne's hymn book and promise the land of milk and honey to everyone to get in power and THEN replace all the nice sounding stuff with their extreme political idealogy and call it 'austerity'.

RonJeremy Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 This is an even more stupid idea than Housing Association RTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Makes sense. All landlords ought be like housing associations. Considering the tenants pay the mortgages for the idle landlords and then some, they really do deserve a RTB and a massive discount! Landlords get many subsidies and thus it is fair they give some of them back. The something for nothing culture must be ended! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total garbage, and if you were sober or had any idea about being a landlord, you would know. What total rubbish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Joker Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 How? Are you suggesting that people on HB are able to afford a mortgage? Absolutely. Please do not make the assumption that everyone who claims housing benefit is an unemployed scumbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
