Councils could reassess plans to build affordable rented
homes through housing companies after the government said the Right to Buy
should apply to these homes. The government’s Housing White Paper said where a
council has placed a tenant in an affordable rented home they should have the
right to buy this property. Inside Housing understands the government has not
decided the legal mechanism it could use to compel councils to sell
company-owned homes through Right to Buy. These companies are registered as
private businesses, and sit off the council and national balance sheet as a
result. Read more on Inside Housing.
