Right to Buy One-To-One Replacement Falling Short In London

The commitment to build a replacement for every social rented home sold through the Right to Buy scheme is not being fulfilled in London, just as across the country. In 13 boroughs there have been exactly no replacement homes built for the 2,877 social rented homes sold. since the commitment was made 26,184 social rented homes have been sold through Right to Buy across England and only 2,712 replacement homes either started or bought. The ratio of replacement has been ten homes sold for every one replaced, nowhere near one-to-one. Read more on the Shelter website.
