West Midlands Associations Consider Using Choice-Based Lettings For Right To Buy

Housing associations in the West Midlands are considering using the region’s choice-based lettings system to help those in ineligible properties for the Right to Buy identify alternative homes. The region would act as a full-scale pilot of the RtB extension, meaning associations are obliged to identify an alternative, available housing association home where properties are excluded. This could occur due to planning conditions, financial covenants on a property or specific types of housing such as rural. In a smaller pilot last year, around a third of more than 50,000 homes in the pilot were excluded. Read more on Inside Housing.
