Researchers quizzed nearly 7,000 housing association
tenants in the Big Tenant Survey carried out by Sheffield Hallam on behalf of
Housing Partners. It found that two thirds of social housing tenants are not
interested in exploring Right-to-Buy and of the third who are interested only
7% are assessed as being able to afford their property. The survey reveals that
of the 33% of tenants who said they were very likely or fairly likely to take
up the Right-to-Buy opportunity 71% were in workless households, 61% had a household income of less than
£21,000 per year, 41% were on Housing Benefit, 22% were aged 55 plus and 7%
were in rent arrears. Read more on the Housing Excellence website.
