I know people who got their rent paid on a council house for years then when the right to buy came in got a part time job to qualify for what i think was a government backed mortgage then quit their jobs or took action to ensure they lost their job and got payments to ensure they didnt loose the house.A few years later these houses got sold for many thousands proffit to mostly private landlords.

people shoudl never have been allowed to buy council houses but i dont blame people for doing so.Most if not all council houses come with front and back garden and these were been sold at a fraction of their worth hence the huge proffit when sold by the ex tennant

i dont buy they dont gain as much value because not all council houses were in crap areas some infact quite a lot werein nice areas and some in very desireable areas.

i think my mates dad paid 12 grand for a 3 bed semi detached in ossy near whitebirk road with fron,side and rear gardens when a 2 bed terrace on devonshire street with no gardens was £28 grand
