Session 1 – Social Housing Sales and Lettings

Affordable Housing

What is affordable housing?

National Planning Policy Framework

Social rented, affordable rented and intermediate housing, provided to eligible households whose needs are not met by the market. Eligibility is determined with regard to local

incomes and local house prices. Affordable housing should include provisions to remain at an affordable price

for future eligible households or for the subsidy to be recycled for alternative affordable housing provision.

Background - Policy

• The Right to Buy scheme was introduced in 1980 and gives qualifying social tenants the opportunity to buy their rented home at a discount.

• In 1998 and 2003 Right to Buy discounts across England were reduced to maximums ranging from £16,000 to £38,000.

• In April 2012 the maximum cash discount available for Right to Buy sales was increased to £75,000 across England.

• In March 2013, there was a further increase to the maximum discount available for tenants living in London boroughs to £100,000.

• The Government’s aim is that for every additional property sold under Right to Buy, a new affordable home for rent will be built nationally under the one-for-one replacement policy.
