250 Council Tenants Start Right to Buy Process

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 council describes the move as a "once-in-a lifetime chance to get onto the housing ladder".  HandF has been hosting a series of Right to Buy roadshows for interested council tenants to find out more. The council estimates around 400 people attended the first.  Read more on the HandF website.
