Nearly 40% of all council flats sold under the Right to

leasehold properties, with 47,994 leaseholders living an another address. This

Milton Keynes, Stevenage and Blackpool had the highest percentage of Right to
Buy flats re-let, at 69.6%, 65.4% and 64.2% respectively. See all the figures
on the Inside Housing website.
