The Government recently announced plans to offer council tenants, wishing to purchase their homes, discounts of up to £75,000, arguing that the discount will help encourage “strong families and stable communities”.
Families could receive a 35% discount after five years’ residency, with an extra 1% for each additional year, up to a maximum of £75,000.
Tenants in flats will get 50% off after five years, with 2% added yearly. The money raised from sales will go towards building more social housing.
