Housing associations could exempt hundreds of thousands
of homes from the Right to Buy extension, including any built as a result of a
planning obligation. Five housing associations - Riverside, L&Q, Sovereign,
Saffron Housing and Thames Valley - launched a Right to Buy pilot last week,
providing the first evidence of how the voluntary deal is likely to work. The
landlords are free to decide which properties to exempt. Those excluded will
include homes built under a Section 106 deal or for any form of specialist
housing.This freedom is likely to apply when the full Right to Buy (RTB)
extension is rolled out in April - with Section 106 homes set to remain exempt
in most cases. Read more on Inside Housing.
