Social housing is being sold off to private landlords via
Rightmove because housing associations don't want to spend money refurbishing
the homes. One provider, Jigsaw, has sold off scores of homes to the private
rental sector in the last three years, arguing nobody else wants them and it is
‘not economical’ to do them up itself. Jigsaw, which took over Manchester
housing association Adactus earlier this year, says it is using proceeds from
the sales to build more homes for rent. But none of them are in the south
Manchester neighbourhoods where many of the sell-offs have taken place. Read
