Less than half of the council homes built to replace
those sold under the Right to Buy are at social rents. Since 2012, councils
have been allowed to keep a portion of the receipt from a Right to Buy home to
build a replacement, with a total of 10,644 started so far against 51,352
sales. But Freedom of Information Act responses from 111 councils – 75% of
those building replacements – showed only 48% (3,962) of the 8,109 new homes
they had started were at social rents. Read more on Inside Housing.
