Background
Recent changes have reduced discounts when buying a home under the right to buy scheme AND extended qualifying periods. In our view, many tenants planned long-term housing stability based on previous rules. We believe Parliament should assess whether these changes have had unintended consequences and consider reversing these changes if they show to disproportionately affect long-term social housing tenants.
