Ministers expect around 3,000 housing association homes
to be sold through the Midlands Voluntary Right to Buy pilot. A regional trial
of the policy to allow tenants to purchase their homes at a discount equivalent
to that available to council tenants was launched earlier this month. The
Treasury has provided £200m to cover the discounts, which will average £66,667
if 3,000 homes are sold. Right to Buy discounts are calculated based on how
long the purchaser has been a tenant, the value of the home, whether it is a
house or flat and how much the social landlord has spent on its upkeep. Read
