But some of the council and housing association stock are very well made as in my family and neighbours instance, around my area 2 years ago, all council houses had new kitchens, boilers and central heating, and new kitchens put in, just for 1 house that would be over £10,000.

My neighbours got a good deal!

They had 2 kitchens put in, was it Ed Miliband moving in?

I agree if they had family living with them they could raise the cash between them and avoid a mortgage, but in London? even with the full discount that would be a massive amount of money to raise. They would then have to sit on it for 2-3yrs.
