Right to Buy Abolished in Scotland

The right to buy will be abolished for new council and housing association tenants in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament has passed the Housing Bill, which will also see a new Scottish Housing Regulator set up and the introduction of a charter for social housing. The right to buy will be abolished for all new homes built in the social sector. The Scottish Government believes this will keep up to 18,000 homes in the social rented sector over the next 10 years.
