Nothing at all wrong with wanting to buy your own home and having something tangible to pass onto your kids.The upside of selling council houses was that it helped working class people to achieve this.I got onto the ladder mostly because I was in a housing assoc. flat and was offered x amount on a scheme called the Tenants' Incentive Scheme to put toward a mortgage.That was 1990. AS Phil says the biggest thing wrong with it was not making more public housing provision,but you wouldn't expect Thatcher to increase public dependancy on housing by building more stock. |
