My friends mum when I was at school, bought hers for around 10k. God knows how as I havent looked into this right to buy thing properly but I *think* she had been there literally her whole life. She sold the house 2 years ago for near 200k Mind the area itself had a massive price rise too..I think it was worth about 100k when she bought it. Still a massive profit though. She bought another house outright and now has savings ... 190k profit in |10 years...
