The necessary Regulations for the new scheme for the tenant purchase of existing local authority houses along incremental purchase lines are at an advanced stage and are expected to be finalised and signed by end October. Once operational, sales under the new Scheme will generate funds for the local authority to invest in new social housing supports or the refurbishment of existing housing.
