It's already been scrapped in Scotland and tbh I sort of support scrapping it. The village I live in is a rather "well off" one and has several streets with ex-council housing and basically ZERO actual council housing. And I'd say it's only maybe 25% right-to-buy families living in these houses... The vast majority have been bought to rent out privately. So basically people paying £600 a month to a private landlord to rent an ex council house that that landlord bought on the cheap. The system has sadly been horribly abused. If right to buy is to be allowed, in my opinion it nerds to be with the condition that the buyer does NOT intend to sell or rent out the property, and plans to live there long term, with fines for anyone abusing the system.

I agree that there's a major problem with young families being unable to buy for the first time, but there's other things that could be done to help young first time buyers, e.g help with deposits and government-backed low interest mortgages for first timers.
