PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Not at all. However, I work in this area and know that there are aspects of the Bill and its contents that many aren't aware of.
I am happy to take this to DT and have a debate with you regarding it but would advise it would help if you're aware of the facts. You can't debate effectively without facts.
What I'm not going to do is get into a pointless slanging match with you.0 -

I don't think this is the appropriate board. I might start a thread in DT. Of course people could always find the information themselves. I think being armed with facts makes for a more reasoned debate0 -

Yes and no. Depends on the circumstances, the policy and how it is implemented. It's not a yes or no answer really.0 -

I clicked on this thread in the hope of finding some practical information about the act and the new cohort of people with a right to buy.
In my opinion the whole thread should be taken down unless someone can suggest a posting with hard fact rather than political bickering. l0
