The Future of Right to Buy in Scotland

Date : 09/07/2012

The Government are seeking views on proposals to further reform the right to buy.  

The Scottish Government have launched a consultation document "The Future of Right to Buy in Scotland".  There are 2 main policy proposals - either to move tenants with preserved right to buy onto modernised terms, or to end all right to buy entitlements.  If right to buy is retained, The Scottish Government is also seeking views on some technical changes that could be made.

If you are interested in finding out more on this proposal and would like to put your views across to the Scottish Government there are a number of options available to you to get involved.  Please note that the closing date for responses to the consultation is Thursday 30 August 2012.
