Maybe they will, as you know I purchased my post war prefab recently. It is defective housing stock that was only erected initially for a period not to exceed 25yrs, the internal walls are plasterboard containing asbestos.
It was perhaps unethical to sell off these properties, but to keep and bring them up to modern day standards would have cost more than the house is worth.

The proposed new council houses will be built to a much higher greener spec, and if there is no threat of unsecured tenancies or spare room taxes then there will be no need to buy them.
