Replacing social housing sold through the Midlands pilot
of the Voluntary Right to Buy (VRTB) on a one-for-one basis will be
“challenging”, an evaluation of the project has warned. Replacement homes will
be on average smaller, at higher rents and include more homes for shared
ownership and fewer for rent. If the policy was to be rolled out nationally, it
is predicted that 32,000 homes would be sold off in the first year and 223,843
would be sold off in the first decade. The vast majority of the 1,892 homes
sold through the pilot by the end of April last year were for social rent, but
researchers estimated that just 27% of replacements will be for this tenure.
