It's because the right to buy got taken away from under our feet. They changed it in 3 weeks...Wales had a year, Scotland had 2 yrs, UK had 3 weeks notice. I was about to buy but missed the deadline
I tjought this might be a good idea. X So yes please xxx

I dont disagree with your comment but its the timing that hurts. People have had their plans ruined with no time to react. Same happened with farmers and the inheritance tax. Its not so much that the gov goal is wrong but the way they have gone about it in terms of giving people a chance to change their plans is completely wrong in my opinion |

It was always a poor scheme for the tax payer But I understand your point when government makes changes to a system. You have probably been saving for some time to get a deposit to buy a home that would have been affordable to you. And the rug has been pulled from under your feet.
But on the up side you still have a home.
Good luck with all you achieve, we need more that want to better there own lives.

Was it? It's impossible to measure, but it was probably an incentive to get people who might otherwise have stayed on benefits forever to get on their own two feet. Might it not have produced real social (and possibly financial) returns? |

Yep, i know quite a few friends who battled to buy instead of just doing as little as they could, so worked as an incentive for them  |

No it just sold a £60k house for £15k the better scheme was the help to buy where you could part own or if in a council house receive up to £1k for every year in council housing up to £15k, to move out of council housing and there for freeing up a home for someone how needed it. |

The problem is it moves more property in to private ownership. |
