Are you actually serious?
How can offering to buy a house for £x be immoral? Even if you actually want 2X?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Yes I agreemoneyistooshorttomention wrote: »I can only speak of my own personal experience of "right to buy". I was told I had the "right to buy" and could use it if I wished, but would be awarded the discount towards buying a place of my choice on the open market.
I couldn't believe my luck - as I'm not normally someone who gets something just by "luck" (much more likely to be as a result of plan/work as much as others have to for the same thing - and then a LOT more planning/working on top of that...).
Whilst I would have liked an even bigger discount (obviously...) - I was very glad of the chance of the one I got and grabbed it with both hands fast before they had the chance to change their minds (you've never seen me "move" so fast in my life......). Just as well I did - as they DID "change their minds" - but they'd already "given me mine" and I was well on my way by then:D0 -
