It came as no surprise when housing minister Brandon
Lewis urged the sector to embrace Right-to-Buy, or as he put – become
“champions of aspiration”. Lewis made no bones of the Government’s commitment
to aspiration – particularly the aspiration of people to own their home – and
unapologetically so. He pointed out that, despite homeownership having declined
from its 71% peak in 2003, the aspiration to own remained as strong as ever at
around 85-86%, as he built up to his message on Right-to-Buy. He declared the
reinvigoration of Right-to-Buy put into effect by the Coalition Government as a
“new era of opportunity” before going on to declare: housing, “there is a
problem”. Read more on the Housing Excellence website.
