and therein lies your problem.

 

the right to buy has desecrated all the social housing stock. It is because of this policy that social housing is so difficult to get and so valued when it is got.

If your household is just you and your partner, you will only be eligible for a one bedroomed property from the council now. Not many houses with just one bedroom!

 

Exchanges aren't normally possible between social housing (council and housing association) tenants and private tenants.

 

PS: I'm a silver surfer.
