We will not generally buy properties available for sale.
In certain circumstances, for example, the redevelopment of an existing council house area, previously sold council houses may be bought.
To increase the supply of affordable housing in high demand areas, consolidate our stock and to respond to identified community care needs, we can buy 15 housing properties per year which respond to specific need as part of our Strategic Housing Investment Plan (SHIP) programme.
