I am sorry but I have not seen that happening recently. The situation is that anyone who wants to buy privately has to go 10 miles away to find a house to buy. They are being excluded from the market in the area that they grew up in and went to school and college in because all of these houses are being purchased by the voluntary housing agencies.
