London mayor Sadiq Khan has announced funding to help
boroughs purchase former council homes lost under the Right to Buy over the
past 40 years. The mayor’s ‘Right to Buy back’ initiative will provide money to
enable local authorities and housing companies they own to acquire ex-council
homes on the open market. Properties bought under the scheme, which must meet
the Decent Homes Standard, would then be returned to social rent or used as
temporary accommodation for homeless families. Read more on Inside Housing.
