Right to Buy Sales Triple Year-On-Year

The number of right to buy sales in England almost tripled in the period July to September this year compared to the same period last year, new figures show. Data from the CLG showed that local authorities sold 2,839 dwellings under the right to buy scheme in the period July to September 2013. This compared to 1,041 dwellings sold by councils under the scheme in the same period in 2012. The number of sales were up by 668 homes from quarter to quarter. The sales registered this quarter is the highest number since Q3 2007-08, when the sales registered were 2,954. Read more on Inside Housing.
