Government considering right to buy for housing association tenants

People who rent their homes from housing associations could be given the right to buy their property at a discount of up to 70 per cent under plans being considered by the prime minister Boris Johnson, according to the Daily Telegraph. Mr Johnson has asked the No10 policy unit to develop the proposals to expand the Right to Buy system in order to help “generation rent”. Currently around 2.5 million households in England rent from a housing association (The Times). Under the plans being considered, lenders could take into account housing benefit money when people apply for a mortgage.

Could not of asked for anything better!.. great team, very friendly and very professional at the same time! You just know you are in good hands. My main point of contact was Philip, lovely guy, definitely made me feel I had someone on my side working towards the same end goal. Cannot speak more highly of him. Would recommend Rawlinson Gold to friends and family in a heartbeat! Thanks again.
We used Rawlinson Gold Estate Agents in Pinner and are 100% sure we made the best choice. Adam was excellent showing viewers our house in West Towers keeping to all COVID regulations, we felt safe and confident. He is very experienced in this role. Unfortunately our first buyers dropped out, this was at 5pm on a Wednesday, by the next morning Philip had sold our house to previous viewers. He went above and beyond, the extra mile with help and support all the way through to the end.
Excellent Service from Gary and the team comprising Phillip , Chloe ,Adam and Neil went above and beyond to help us sell our house during the difficult period of COVID 19 restrictions. We had a great 3D tour, video and overall online presence and they were able to generate lots of real interest. All of the team make the sale process very personal and they were very responsive to both potential buyers and to us. If you are planning to sell in Pinner they are a great team to get on your side.
