The Housing Executive has sold off 2040 homes in the past five years
New figures released by the government show that 2040 homes have been sold off by the Northern Ireland Housing Executive in the past five years - leading many in the Belfast Live comments section to question the Right to Buy scheme. Over 46,000 people are on the waiting list for a NIHE home.
Reader Itiswhatitisaye says: "Right to Buy is a joke. People bought their properties cheap in the 90s, sold them on for a nicer newer home in a better area, then private landlords bought them up. We all know of someone who has 3, 6 or more ex-council properties in estates, some in several towns. They need to stop selling council properties. Yes people may have a right to own their own home, but not those that are supposed to be for social housing.
