Around 250 council tenants in Hammersmith and Fulham (HandF)
have started the process of buying their homes under the Government's revamped
Right to Buy scheme. Following pressure
from the flagship Conservative local authority, the Government has recently
increased the maximum Right to Buy discount from £16,000 to £75,000. The
