Council house right to buy questions

FYI forum rules:

It's OK to disagree, but be civil, keep your tone friendly and don't be aggressive or make personal attacks on other members of the community. Before you post, think, 'could what I have written be read as unfriendly and upset someone?' and/or, 'how might this be perceived/make someone feel?'.

I rest my case!

Deleted_User Congratulations it worked out for you.
With the limited information you provided at first was what lead to the comments that felt judgemental.
When you explained further your why, reason for wanting to but RTB property and rent it back that gave more context.

People can be sensitive when it comes to buying ex council properties and making profit on it.

Each to their own.

I’m not entirely sure why you needed to exercise your RTB to go and rent privately in another area. The neighbours sound awful so personally I wouldn’t want to buy a house near them even if it came with a discount. I’d want to cut ties with the area and move on for a peaceful life without them.

What a flap to get in about replies

I bought under the RTB process so no issues with others doing the same, but amazed you went from considering buying to owning in 6 months well as getting the council to say they'd rent it back already. Pre covid it took us 9 months to just own our home.

Personally I wouldn't rent back to the council, I've seen first hand the bodges they happily pass off as fixed.

I can't even see any rude replies 🤷‍♀️
