Council Housing

Options
I live in a council estate, I own my own flat. All the council housing in my area has life secure tenancies and have the right to buy. I think this is very unfair, you can pass your council housing to your partner, son or daughter. If you decide you want to buy, you can and safety in the knowledge that your council house is for life.

    Not in scotland, is this meant to be a trolling or just someone who doesn't know the full picture.

    Probably best to take a look at some of the OPs other posts, confusion seems to be rife.
