Surge in 'right to buy' house sales

"Right to buy" sales of council houses to tenants have reached their highest level since 2007, the Government has said.

Almost 3,500 homes have been sold since the scheme was reinvigorated by the Government last April, in a move which raised the potential discount a tenant could receive off the value of their home to £75,000, from just £16,000 in some areas.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
