Housing Assoc, Right to By, Shared Ownership.??

Hi
I have lived in a Housing Association SO property since 1993.
I own 25percent and HO owns 75 percent.
I paid off mortgage on my 25 percent - I pay a rent of the other 75 percent every month.
I see in the news today that the governement is set to offer a new discount scheme to housing association tenants.
Will this apply to retrospectively ?
Also because I have had shared ownership for so long would I be eligible ? I believe the previous right to buy scheme was only for tenants from 97 onwards.
I looked at a number of articles but could not glean much info.
Thank you

I don't think the scheme is aimed at people who are in shared ownership schemes.., more for simple tenants. As the scheme has only been announced as yet.., its a bit early to be wondering what the details of the new scheme will be. You'll only get lots of meaningless speculation as no one knows the details.0

Hi
Okay - thank you for your reply.
I was hopeful it would apply to shared ownership as well.
