Mike Hedges AM welcomes the Right to Buy to end in Wales this month

Mike Hedges AM welcomes the Right to Buy to end in Wales this month

Housing association and local authority tenants in some parts of Wales have until January 26 to use the Right to Buy and associated Schemes after which they will be abolished in Wales.

Mike Hedges AM said….. ‘Having been calling at the Assembly this week for an expansion of Council House building, it is surely sensible that we end the sale of council houses so the overall number of Council houses begins to increase. While some people may have benefited from the sale of council houses, many more people have suffered from the reduced number of council houses available for rent.  I look forward to a period when the number of council houses rises year on year.’

People who are eligible and wish to buy their own home must have completed an application form available from their landlord or the Welsh Government website and submitted it to their landlord before the upcoming deadline of 26 January 2019.
