Right to buy process

Lioness_Twinkletoes

OP has come back for another bite at the 'wind up' cherry. S/he clearly has nothing better to do.

Feel sorry for her Mum though.

Social housing - death by a thousand cuts.

No, because some people here like to answer questions asked backed by hate they have for a government scheme they don't agree with. That is quite pathetic.

I do not need to prove myself for any of you. If you can't answer my questions in a polite way without steering towards your hate for RTB scheme then take your thoughts to the government and try to change the scheme.

I'm sure if marksoton can detach himself from his little keyboard he could lead you all on a march!

If your plan means that your mother has a more secure, better future in a house owned by the two of you than she does in a house owned and maintained by the council in a secure lifelong tenancy, then I don't understand why you are so reluctant to explain to us how that will work?

If I knew your mother in real life I would be very very concerned about what might happen to her in the future if you were to fall into financial difficulties, or to marry and have a few children, or even to get hit by a bus or get ill yourself and need care.

Right now your mum is safe and secure and has a guaranteed home for the rest of her life, fully maintained at no cost to her, with the council having a responsibility to make sure her accommodation is adapted to be suitable for her health and care needs. What about your plan will improve this situation for her? Not for you, for her?

OP - Most councils retain the rights not to sell any home specifically designed to accommodate the elderly or homes that have any special adaptations for elderly or disabled tenants.
However, if a representative from the council has been to discuss the purchase with you, it seems unlikely they would then say no.

They could still get a letter from the council saying that they don't have the right to buy on that type of property instead of a letter confirming right to buy.

In any case if the OP had read all the threads on here about right to buy they would find out that sometimes the land around the property is not included so there nay not be any possibility of being allowed to extend.

Very true, but if you had seen the hospital recently and seen how much hassle drinking alcohol causes and wastes time for nurses and genuine sick people don't get seen you'd think they ban it!

But I guess as it's allowed your participating too.

In the same way you dislike the RTB scheme. Just different opinions and so on.

Step by step me and my mum are talking about this, since my first post many months ago in a different thread. But thanks for your concerns.

Not something I'm jumping into lightly.

I think it's safe to say RTB and NHS provision are not comparable.

I can drink alcohol and not cause any hassle to the nhs.

I can't exercise a RTB without taking a home out of social housing
