Right to Buy sales fell 23% in the last quarter of
2018/19, while replacements slipped more than 4,000 homes behind the
government’s one-for-one pledge. Councils in England sold an estimated 2,612
homes through the policy from January to March 2019, down from 3,396 in the
same period last year. Over the whole of 2018/19, 10,213 homes were sold – a
21% drop on 2017/18 and the lowest number since 2012/13 when Right to Buy
discounts were raised dramatically. Councils received £219.7m from Right to Buy
sales from January to March, an average of £84,100 per home. Find out more on the MHCLG website.
