Some 40 council houses were recovered by Sandwell Council
last year following fraud investigations into right-to-buy applications. An
annual report to the council’s Audit and Risk Assurance Committee meeting says
its counter fraud team has investigated 218 cases were tenants get discounts of
up to £82,800 when applying to buy their homes. The recovered properties –
valued at £3,720,000 – were taken back into public ownership as part of the
authority’s counter-fraud programme. In addition, some 54 applications to buy
homes were cancelled and officers calculated in total tax payers were saved
£3,894,960. Read more on Birmingham Live.
