East Suffolk Council

Reforming the Right to Buy consultation

East Suffolk Council responds to Government consultations to ensure our voice is heard and that it feeds into the development of Government policy.

This consultation sought views on:

• the qualifying criteria for tenants
• initial and maximum discounts as a percentage of the property value
• which types of properties should be exempted under the scheme
• whether there should be increased restrictions on properties after sale
• the replacement of homes sold under the Right to Buy
• rules governing the use of Right to Buy receipts and how these could be simplified
