[QUOTE="Exfarmer, post: 5424422, member: 1951"] You are totally correct, regarding the sales and the over generous discounts, except in the begginning of the scheme, it was difficult to actually give away the houses. Many tenants were dissauded by adverse scaremongering that they would be repossesssed etc. Later as the scheme gained ground , yes there were many families who sponsored there parents to buy the house they had lived in all their lives and without doubt some of these purchases were not always intended for a purely philanphropic reason. But this really only took off after Mrs T’s departure and could easily have been resolved. The quality of the housing stock obviously varied dramatically across the country, but where I was brought up, It was very obvious which houses were the council houses and it was not right! [/QUOTE]
