Here is the answer from the 13th of March Michelle....its very confusing isnt it .Jan please tell the county councils the news that NO tenants will not be able to purchase their homes.
The current tenant purchase scheme, provided for in Section 90 of the Housing Act 1966, and known as the 1995 Tenant Purchase Scheme, remains in place. It remains the intention that this scheme will be wound down during 2012 to be replaced by a new scheme based on the incremental purchase model. This change will require amending legislation.
Separate provisions are in place under Part 3 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2009 providing for incremental purchase in respect of newly-built houses reserved by housing authorities for the purpose. This Incremental Purchase Scheme is available to all housing authorities.
