Housing associations in the West Midlands are considering
using the region’s choice-based lettings system to help those in ineligible
properties for the Right to Buy identify alternative homes. The region would
act as a full-scale pilot of the RtB extension, meaning associations are
obliged to identify an alternative, available housing association home where
properties are excluded. This could occur due to planning conditions, financial
covenants on a property or specific types of housing such as rural. In a
smaller pilot last year, around a third of more than 50,000 homes in the pilot
were excluded. Read more on Inside Housing.
