Yes correct but would you rather have your poperty empty for a period of time . Or sell straight away Win win Due to the lack of housing right across the UK due to the size of the population be the property you own be it a private house or former Council Property it is the owner that decides to sell or not or can simply wait until the value of the property goes up, then sell to the highest bidder When the council in Bury sell a house a part of that agreement is that the Council have the right to first refusesal |

Only if the property was bought within the last 10 years
" If an owner of a property bound by the covenant wishes to sell their property within 10 years of purchase, they must first offer the property back to the council, however the council does not have an obligation to buy back. "

But it does nothing to solve the housing shortage - you have exactly the same number of houses as when you started.. Yes but purchasing ex social housing for sale makes more socual housing and that would benefit them on the housing waiting list . Like i said win win Reducing the amount of housing available for private rent means that rents rise, more people cannot afford that so go on the Council waiting list for Social Housing. You do not solve a shortage of housing by changing the ownership. |

Sounds like empty rhetoric to me: It creates no extra housing, would take years to implement to any significant degree and is likely to get quietly dropped along the way.
I call BS.

Maybe 3to 4 yrs whats still not acceptable I am certain of waiting times my daughter who was left with 3 young children waited just under ten years to be offered a Council flat , she went to the Council Offices every week and many there had been on the waiting list much longer than she had According to the most recent findings in 2001, there are half a million more families in need of social housing than are recorded on official housing waiting lists. This equates to 4.2 million people, including a staggering 1.3 million children. And demand for Social Housing since then has gone up and will continue to increase as the population gets larger each year, |

No she had to rent privately, if you worked in the Homeless Field for 15 years as you claim you should know how difficult housing single people is let alone families with young children, if you told me it got dark in the evenings I would not believe you |
