DAVID CAMERON will reinvent Margaret Thatcher’s right-to-buy housing scheme with a “big doorstep offer” in the Conservative manifesto to working-class voters.
Downing Street sources say the prime minister is backing a plan by Iain Duncan Smith to let housing association tenants buy their homes at a discount price — an effort to revive the property-owning democracy that took the Tories to election victory in the 1980s.
Since right-to-buy was set up in 1980, more than 2m council houses have been sold, but current rules make it difficult for those in housing associations to buy their homes.
Under plans to be announced next month, the Conservatives are also set to order councils to sell off big expensive council houses to pay for a larger number of cheaper homes.
比方房子原来300k，right to buy成200k，住里面的人2块钱都没有，没关系你有钱，你借给他200k，但是有一个条款限制他200k买下来以后必须以220k卖给你，然后你相当于以220k买了市场价300k的房子，扣除stamp duty也还行，住福利房的穷人白捡20k。要是1）法律上没问题的话 2）有办法限制那个人必须卖给你，那傻子都干。
