Council House Sales on the Rise Again

The numbers of tenants taking up the right to buy their council home across the country has more than doubled in the past year, with Nottingham showing some of the highest rises.  Figures show that there were 5,942 council homes sold between April 2012 and April this year – more than double the number sold in the previous year and the highest number of sales since 2007.  Nottingham City Council sold 134 homes over the same period, compared with 91 the previous year.  Nationally, a total of 2,449 properties were sold between January and March this year, more than four times the 566 sold during the same period in 2012.  Read more on the Nottingham Post website.
